# Upload Image For Chat

`POST /api/user_settings/image_host/upload`

Upload an image and return a public URL the chat can embed as
`![](url)`. Routing follows the user's `active_provider` toggle:

  - 'off'    → 400 ("image hosting disabled"); caller should
               not have invoked this in the first place.
  - 'github' → upload via the saved github config.
  - 'cloud'  → /api/files blob with is_public=1.

Called by omicos-core's figure_publisher and (in future) by
BenchView for manual uploads.
