This quick start lets you get an end-to-end implementation up and running using the Java SDK in 5 minutes or less.
This quick start walks you through Cloudinary setup step by step, which is great for learning the Java SDK hands-on. To have your AI coding assistant handle setup for you instead, use the
Get Started prompt.
Using a clean Java project using Maven, add the cloudinary and dotenv dependencies to the list of dependencies in pom.xml:
We recommend updating the version number to use the
latest version of the Java SDK.
Then, in your project, create a file called .env and add the following line with your Cloudinary environment variable (replace cloudinary://<API_KEY>:<API_SECRET>@<CLOUD_NAME> below with your own environment variable value):
When writing your own applications, follow your organization's policy on storing secrets and don't expose your API secret.
In your code, include the following Cloudinary libraries as well as the dotenv library in your project. Copy and paste the following code into your Main.java file:
You can now load your Cloudinary credentials from your .env file as shown below. Copy and paste the following code into your Main class:
Copy and paste the following code into a try block within your Main class:
Run your code by clicking the Run button on the main class.
