• ⚡ Async/Await - Built with aiohttp for optimal performance
• 🎯 Intuitive API - Clean interface
• 🛡️ Error Handling - Comprehensive exception hierarchy
• 📝 Well Documented - Extensive docstrings and examples

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install expressipy

Basic Usage

import asyncio
from expressipy import ExpressipyClient, ReactionType

async def main():
    async with ExpressipyClient() as client:
        # Get a random hug GIF
        gif = await client.get_gif(ReactionType.HUG)
        print(f"Hug GIF: {gif.url}")

        # Get all available reactions
        reactions = await client.get_all_reactions()
        print(f"Available reactions: {len(reactions)}")

asyncio.run(main())

Quick One-Off Requests

from expressipy import ReactionType
from expressipy.utils import get_gif

# For simple one-off requests
gif = await get_gif(ReactionType.HUG)
print(f"Hug GIF: {gif.url}")

📖 Documentation

Supported Reactions

The wrapper supports all 66 reaction types from the OtakuGIFs API:

from expressipy import ReactionType

# All available as enum values:
ReactionType.HUG, ReactionType.DANCE,
ReactionType.CRY, ReactionType.LAUGH,
# ... and 60 more!

View all supported reactions

airkiss, angrystare, bite, bleh, blush, brofist, celebrate, cheers, clap, confused, cool, cry, cuddle, dance, drool, evillaugh, facepalm, handhold, happy, headbang, hug, huh, kiss, laugh, lick, love, mad, nervous, no, nom, nosebleed, nuzzle, nyah, pat, peek, pinch, poke, pout, punch, roll, run, sad, scared, shout, shrug, shy, sigh, sip, slap, sleep, slowclap, smack, smile, smug, sneeze, sorry, stare, stop, surprised, sweat, thumbsup, tickle, tired, wave, wink, woah, yawn, yay, yes

Type Safety

The wrapper provides excellent type safety with multiple input options:

# Using enum (most type-safe, IDE autocomplete)
gif = await client.get_gif(ReactionType.HAPPY)

# Using string literal (also type-safe)
gif = await client.get_gif("dance")

# Case insensitive
gif = await client.get_gif("SURPRISED")

Error Handling

from expressipy import ExpressipyException, HTTPException, NotFound

try:
    gif = await client.get_gif("invalid_reaction")
except ValueError as e:
    print(f"Invalid reaction: {e}")
except HTTPException as e:
    print(f"API error {e.status}: {e}")
except ExpressipyException as e:
    print(f"Something went wrong: {e}")

Advanced Usage

import asyncio
import logging
from expressipy import ExpressipyClient, setup_logging

# Enable debug logging to see HTTP requests
setup_logging(logging.DEBUG)

async def advanced_example():
    # Custom timeout and manual lifecycle management
    client = ExpressipyClient(timeout=30.0)

    try:
        # Get multiple GIFs efficiently with one client
        reactions = [ReactionType.HUG, ReactionType.KISS, ReactionType.WAVE]

        for reaction in reactions:
            gif = await client.get_gif(reaction)
            print(f"{reaction.value}: {gif.url}")

    finally:
        await client.close()  # Always clean up!

asyncio.run(advanced_example())
