To use the SDK in a Node project, first import library:

const cloudinary = require('cloudinary').v2;
# or
import { v2 as cloudinary } from 'cloudinary'

Then configure a new instance of Cloudinary:

cloudinary.config({
  cloud_name: '<Your Cloud Name>'
});

Where you can generate a Cloudinary URL by using the cld.image method such as:

cloudinary.url('<Your Public ID>')

• Create an environment variable file .env and inside add:

CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME="<Your Cloud Name>"

• Install the project dependencies with:

npm install

• Run the node script with:

node <filename>

For example, inside the examples/node-transformations-effects directory:

node image-overlay.js

The script will run in your terminal and you'll see the URL results logged.
