TL;DR I am not sure how to store a whole bunch of images for my SMS bot

Hi Everybody. I'm doing a side project where I am setting up a SMS bot to send images to certain phone numbers weekly. I am using twilio for the SMS bot and I think it's going to be written in python. I want the program to pick a random image from storage and then send that one. However I am not sure what way to store the images (REST API, SQL DB, firebase, etc.) I have worked with REST APIs before but I have almost no experience with SQL databases and firebase. Has anyone done anything like this? Is there a better way I could be doing this? Please lmk if you guys would like anymore info. Thank you!

    It might be a good learning experience to write it yourself. Store the images on a server and serve them through your own REST API.

    Firebase doesn't support that I think on the free tier. But it's pretty easy to setup.

    @noogli I think firebase do have a free storage for images, although It has a limited capacity

    @beegC0de i think Ill male the REST API like you said. I found an article on medium that seems pretty good (python and flash) thank you!

    Google cloud storage or Firebase storage are pretty easy
