This library vs. the Competition

This benchmark search 100 items from each booru sites and returns the average response time
Speed or perfomace may not accurate because internet connection or server response.

• Stable: fully functional | Partial: limited features | Triage: has some issues
  • either api is broken or with their own cloudflare stuff
• 🎲 Support random | 🕹️ Support gacha | 🎨 Extract images | 🛡️ Armored-search

Usage

This lib should be run in async context, and it's recommended to use asyncio

Prerequisites

NOTE: Python 3.7 or above

Installation

It's fairly simple to install booru

🚀from PyPI:

pip install booru

🚀from pipenv:

pipenv install booru

Or from this repository!

Quick example

search

(method) search: (tags: str, limit: int = 100, page: int = 1, random: bool = True, gacha: bool = False) -> Coroutine

All the parameters are optional, except for query which is required.

import asyncio
import booru

async def main():
    gel = booru.Gelbooru()
    res = await gel.search(query="cat_girl", limit=50)
    print(res)

asyncio.run(main())

Authorization is always optional! but if you fill it you should define through specific import

from booru import Gelbooru

gel = Gelbooru(api_key="API_KEY_HERE", user_id="USER_ID_HERE")
## do with gel

Returns

get image

If you just rely on images only, Yes so there's no need to do any pesky list comprehension hacks

(method) get_image: (query: str, block: str = '', limit: int = 100, page: int = 1) -> Coroutine

Same as search but return only the image list / array

Returns

Advanced example

Here some more advanced examples of using this library.

Armored search

Armored-search built-in resolved safety tags concerns, TLDR:

The disgusting query you want to block, For example You want to search 'ahegao' but dont want to gets 'futanari'.

async def get():
    gel = booru.Gelbooru()
    res = await gel.search(query="ahegao", limit=50, block="futanari")
    print(res)

async def main():
    await asyncio.gather(get())

asyncio.run(main())

Multiple block separated by (space), check the benchmark table not all booru support this stuff.

PS: booru is user generated content, there is always the slight possibility that posts not tagged accordingly.

Gacha-like

Just like gacha, fill this if you're clown, gacha=True will return a random single post.

Import you want to use

This library built with separated classes, If you want to use specific booru, For example you can import it:

from booru import Rule34
some_booru = Rule34()

## do something

Shuffle the whole dictionary

For default, the lib return a random dict, to gets a raw data and disable set 'random' param with False

Documentation

The documentation can be found https://sinkaroid.github.io/booru

Limitations

• Respect the ratelimit: There is a hard limit of 100 posts per request.
• Curently the object returns is not consistent, every dict is different structure.
• More than just searching (Comming soon)
