yellowcake: UploadCare not working on Netlify CMS (Loading...)

Hello,

I’ve just tested a fresh copy of the yellowcake, created an API Key on UploadCare (to set as “publicKey” on the /static/admin/config.yml) and I’ve logged into netlify-cms and tried to add a file on the “media”, but it’s not working… Just shows the message “Loading…” and doesn’t resolve.

Can anyone help, and see if something has changed, please?
I’ve the impression it was working, like, 2 weeks ago.

I am new to Gatsby and I didn’t know about this tool, it seems to be a must have on a modern website 😃

Thank you for the help!

Yeah, I discovered that the other day as well, I assume it’s a limitation of the Uploadcare API similar to the issue netlify-cms#2966, since there’s no logic to pull details of the images already uploaded.

To be honest, given these issues I’m not convinced the UploadCare integration is robust enough for real-world usage yet. The inability to reuse images already uploaded is a bit of a deal-breaker for me at the moment.

I’m planning on refactoring my fork of Yellowcake starter this weekend to use Netlify Large Media since it seems like it would be a more robust integration of media files right in the same git repo and is has transformation service up to 25k a month on the free tier, which should be plenty fine for most small projects. Keep an eye on my repo if you’re interested.

@baldeagle and @SpacemanPete I think you guys can solve this issue just by switching from the UploadCare to Cloudinary (it’s free).

I am making a website for a photographer and I’ve just realized I couldn’t really send the raw photo-files of +10mb to GitHub, so, I had in mind it was there another media library cloud system - Cloudinary! I’ve just added this on my config.yml file:

media_library:
  name: cloudinary
  config:
    cloud_name: username
    api_key: to_replace_with_api_key

You can find more info here: https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/cloudinary/

PS: I’ve added this Cloudinary on the website and it works like a charm, very professional and you are sure the photos are uploaded and not lost in the Space!
