Problem with graph images
Many of you may already know that I am trying to make a command in @wasteof_bot to post graphs.
Recently I realized that to update the graphs, I need to delete the previous ones(if I don’t, imgbb might get mad since I am doing this for free), then upload new images.
The problem is that when I upload new ones, they get different links. So all the posts containing the previous images that are deleted will not be having the image anymore.
How do I fix this? I am using imgbb API since wasteof only supports 2 external hosts and cubeupload doesn’t have a public API.
I thought of replacing images but that isn’t available in the API docs. I’m stuck now

edit the post to use a different src="" url
When you get the URL for your image, edit the post and replace the old URL with a new one. You can probably do this with a simple Regexp.
This isnt an ideal solution. The command isn’t out so you didn’t consider this:
The graph command is probably going to be @wasteof_bot graph
When people use this, it will post their graph in a reply. I can’t possibly edit each and every reply to update its url every week! So… this won’t work.
Thanks for trying though!
make 1 image for
each individual
I mean that the bot is going to comment the same URL in 100000 places. I can’t go and edit all of those posts
