Uploading by URL is now possible again, but it's limited to whitelisted domains only. Therefore we need to start filling out said whitelist. If you have a site to suggest, please post it here, along with the domain that all images from that site reside on (for example d.facdn.net or *.deviantart.net).

Coming to mind right off are:

• Tumblr: *.media.tumblr.com
• Twitter: pbs.twimg.com
• InkBunny: va.ib.metapix.net/files
• Imgur: i.imgur.com

I've never managed a direct upload from Pixiv, and I regularly see posts from other people saying the same. It doesn't seem very useful to whitelist it.

Imgur seems to handle direct Pixiv uploads just fine. Maybe it's something that can be worked out?

Of course, when I say "direct upload" I actually mean "sticking the image url in the file upload", so there may be a difference, but I wouldn't know the technical details.

I would think that the chans would be the source for a good number of the earlier problems, but then again, they probably also have stronger security for how popular they are.

I doubt it. Hacking another server to get an IP address from here (even on a machine with Windows 95-tier security) is going to be more complicated than just setting up your own .com and tracing it.

Patreon
Post images: *.amazonaws.com/patreon.posts/*
Downloads: www.patreon.com/file?h=*&i=*

Because there are some artists who use patreon to post WIP and better versions of stuff, instead of using it as paywall which it shouldn't be.
Also posting this because even though Amazon AWS seems to be on whitelist, I still got error when tried to post patreon post image. Image address started with https://s3-us-west-1.amazonaws.com/ if this helps.

Yep. It's not that we wanted to prevent uploading from certain sites. We wanted to avoid the site's IP address being exposed to some sites and thus making the site vulnerable to DDoS attacks (like it happened not too long ago)

Besides, uploading from a site for me, worked by copying the pic link to the source field and hitting upload. (I know it worked back then before the "Upload From URL" field was there.)

I really hope that the Trashdump site can be whitelited, it has some pretty good stuff on it. Same goes for the /co/llection and The Big ImageBoard really.

Any particular reason wikimedia (wikipedia) isn't whitelisted? (guessing because uploads from there are rare)

Back again with a few sites.

I'm a bit surprised Derpibooru isn't whitelisted, so I'll post it here.
https://derpibooru.org/

And I think that Xbooru and E-Hentai aren't whitelisted either, but I'm not sure because I haven't checked.

Is fchan whitelisted?
Because you can't even mention e621 on fchan. If you try, you get this:
Fatal error! Message could not be posted.
Posting not allowed.

I'm sure they wouldn't want people uploading things from fchan to e621.

Someone failed to make a spoiler.

Flickr.com please!
I don't know all of their direct picture links but I can give you at least one.

Here's one, farm7.staticflickr.com - I really doubt that they would have multiple ones.

Wow. Nothing much new recently, huh? Well, how about HicceArs?

www.hiccears.com

How about plain old inkbunny.net? I was having trouble direct uploading when I noticed they changed the direct url for images

4chan recently started using is.4chan.org to host images, so that URL should be whitelisted as well. See forum #218312

Gfycat
https://*.gfycat.com/*

By default gives WebM format, MP4 for unsupported browsers. Also stores couple Gif versions, small and original/huge generated from video upload. Even though generally lower video quality and some stuff being converted from gifs, there have been cases where highest quality version was on gfycat only or artist was using the site for gif hosting.

How about Discord, for artists who directly communicate and send files to commissioners using the program?

Discord: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/*

I'd rather not we allow messengers or other image boards. The chance for reposts increases dramatically with their social nature and people just saving and spreading the thumbnails instead of the original files.

There's also a 5mb limit on direct uploads, most commission files should be larger than that limit, unless they're avatars.

How about https://hiccears.com/ (which is an art site currently in beta which allows all fetishes)? It's used by some artists on Inbunny (like Aogami ) to give people a place to view art that involves both underage and humans (IB doesn't allow humans in adult situations, for those who don't know). However, not all art there is solely humans, and there is indeed a lot of furry and animal humanoid/kemonomimi stuff on the site.

Hiccears: https://hiccears.com/upl0ads/imgs/*

Tumblr appears to have changed up their direct image system and now it seems that the only way to receive raw images is to change the media prefix to data, which is not covered by either Tumblr listings on the whitelist.

I've seen some furry art get uploaded to ArtStation.

ArtStation: https://cdn*.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/* (The asterisk in the prefix is either an a or a b, although there could be more.)

It seems that newgrounds hasn't been whitelisted; just found out after attempting a recent upload. The site, while not purely furry, has quite a few bits of content of the furry variety, including art and various flashes/games. Would be convenient and useful to whitelist it imho.

Can't seem to find the url for flashes/games/etc... Seems they removed the ability to see the swf files from viewing the source of the page. Perhaps they changed this up and it can be found another way? Don't know what it is myself, if anyone could help out with that it'd be swell. At the very least we do have the image source url:

Noticed that some Gelbooru images have a simg3.gelbooru.com URL now, rather than simg4.gelbooru.com. Maybe whitelist *.gelbooru.com/* in anticipation of future URL changes?

Also, sankaku complex could be added too. https://cs.sankakucomplex.com/data/*

Please whitelist https://grrrgraphics.com/
his cartoons often contain metaphorical animals and are thus appropriate for e621

DeviantArt recently changed their image host to https://wixmp-*.appspot.com/_api/download/file?downloadToken=*

JAKXXX3 said:
DeviantArt recently changed their image host to https://wixmp-*.appspot.com/_api/download/file?downloadToken=*

That's not all they did: the images that we see on the deviation (submission) pages (without downloading) seems to be all resampled at https://images-wixmp-*.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/*/*.jpg. So it seems that the only way to truly access the originals are now directly via the Download buttons if they are available and the artist allows them. I've noticed this as there was this low resolution JPEG that has been made downloadable by the artist and image that is shown on the deviation page is actually a lower-quality resample despite being the same resolution as its original counterpart.

Considering that the new URLs are longer and contain a whole bunch of random characters, I believe that DA is now using a encryption method to make it harder for people to access images that are not meant to be accessible, especially images that have been either "deleted" (which they were not really deleted from their servers) or only removed from public viewing by the artists.

Update (1:56 AM EDT on November 4, 2018): OK, so more on this. The image that I was mentioning earlier was this: post #1697356. That was originally uploaded on DA in 2017. However, I just managed to upload post #1697396 directly from the old orig00.deviantart.net, and that one was originally uploaded to DA just hours ago. I've also viewed an image that was uploaded just a few minutes ago and it too is using the old URL scheme. So I think that DA might be migrating much of their old images to third-party WiX servers so they can make room for newer images and other media files on their native servers.

Update (November 5, 2018): No, scratch that. It looks like that only JPEGs are only being transferred to the third-party servers. PNGs appear to still be uploaded directly to DA servers. I've just viewed two more images on DA; a PNG image that was uploaded in 2016 and a JPEG that was just uploaded hours ago, both of which the artists have allowed downloads of. The 2016 PNG is on DA's servers and the recent JPEG is on the third-party servers. The two posts that I've mentioned yesterday was a JPEG and a PNG, respectively. So in essence, it looks like that JPEGs on DA are screwed while PNGs are safe, for now.

Considering the rise of artists on Newgrounds, I think we should add that site to the whitelist.

Newgrounds artwork: https://art.ngfiles.com/images/* (https://art.ngfiles.com/* could work, too.)
Newgrounds Flash and videos: https://uploads.ungrounded.net/alternate/* (Likewise, https://uploads.ungrounded.net/* could also work.)

Also, while tumblr is ridding its NSFW content, SFW furry content is still gonna be there, so adding a whitelist to the new tumblr file url types would be helpful as well.

I just wanted to echo my support for everyone requesting Newgrounds

thank kira

I want to make some new suggestions and re-suggest a couple that I've made before. I want to see some more green yeses on the howto:sites_and_sources page's table.

• ArtStation: https://cdn*.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/* Re-suggestion (forum #244081); alternately, we could go with https://*.artstation.com/*.
• Blogger (Blogspot): http://*.bp.blogspot.com/* – Re-suggestion (forum #256457).
• Wix Media Platform (new DeviantArt URL): https://*.wixmp.com/* – Although whitelisting this will most likely not let us directly access full-size downloads due to the new encrypted download tokens, it would still be useful for getting the new larger preview images (much larger than the old img00 and pre00 ones from deviantart.net) if the originals are not directly downloadable, especially PNGs.
• OneDrive: https://*.files.1drv.com/* – Dropbox may not allow their images to be viewed directly anymore, but Microsoft's cloud storage platform still does. Alternately, this could be simplified to https://*.1drv.com/*

I've seen a few artists move over to piczel.tv after the Tumblr purge. The URL format is:

https://piczel.tv/static/uploads/gallery_image/*/image/*/*

Requesting for plurk to be put on the whitelist.

BTW, discord is now added to the whitelist:

This will hopefully give us necessary IDs to confirm that the content we get is from first party servers better as well as allow the site to have higher quality copies of artwork thanks to many artists having their own servers nowdays.
