Adding a Yandex Channel

What You Need First

Requirement	Why You Need It
A Yandex account	Used to sign in and authorize Yandex Disk
A Yandex OAuth app	Used to generate the Client ID and Client Secret
Your ImgBed domain	Used for the OAuth redirect URI
Available Yandex Disk storage	Used as the actual file storage location

Setup Steps

Step 1: Create a Yandex OAuth App

1. Open the Yandex OAuth app creation page:

https://oauth.yandex.com/client/new

2. If you are redirected to sign in, sign in with your Yandex account first.
3. Create a new app.
4. Give the app a recognizable name, such as imgbed-yandex.
5. Find the callback or redirect URL settings.
6. Enter:

https://your-domain.com/api/oauth/yandex/callback

Step 2: Confirm Permissions

For the current ImgBed Yandex integration, keep these four permissions under Yandex.Disk REST API:

Permission	Purpose
cloud_api:disk.app_folder	Allows ImgBed to store files in the app folder
cloud_api:disk.read	Reads files and download links
cloud_api:disk.write	Uploads files, creates folders, and deletes files
Access to information about Yandex.Disk	Reads disk quota and used space

If you also see these permissions under Yandex ID API, they are optional:

Permission Text	Recommendation
Access to username, first name and surname, gender	Optional
Access to email address	Optional

Core upload, download, deletion, and quota features mainly depend on the four Yandex.Disk REST API permissions above.

Step 3: Copy App Credentials

After the app is created, copy:

Yandex Field	ImgBed Field
Client ID	Client ID
Client Secret	Client Secret

Step 4: Fill in the Yandex Channel

In Upload Settings, choose Yandex and fill in:

ImgBed Field	What To Enter
Channel name	A recognizable name, such as Main Yandex
Client ID	The Yandex app Client ID
Client Secret	The Yandex app Client Secret
Refresh Token	Leave it empty for now
Root directory	Optional. Defaults to imgbed.

Step 5: Get the Refresh Token

1. In ImgBed, click Get Token.
2. Sign in to the Yandex account you want to connect.
3. Approve the authorization prompt.
4. The callback page will show a Refresh Token.
5. Copy it.
6. Return to ImgBed and paste it into the Refresh Token field.

Step 6: Save the Channel

After all fields are filled in, save the channel.
