booru

A node package for searching various boorus (with promises!)

Features

  • Able to search 17 different boorus (check sites.json)
  • Also alias support so you can be lazy (sb for safebooru.org)
  • Promises because they're magical
  • Little utility to convert xml to json (and add a .common prop to each image)
  • Choose the amount of images to get
  • Random support for all sites, using order:random on sites that support it and using a bit of magic on sites that don't
  • Some other stuff I probably forgot

Installation

npm i --save booru

Or if you use yarn

yarn add booru

Usage

const booru = require('booru')

booru.search(site, [tag1, tag2], {limit: 1, random: false})
.then(booru.commonfy)
.then(images => {
  //Log the direct link to each image
  for (let image of images) {
    console.log(image.common.file_url)
  }
})
.catch(err => {
  if (err.name === 'BooruError') {
    //It's a custom error thrown by the package
    console.log(err.message)
  } else {
    //This means I messed up. Whoops.
    console.log(err)
  }
})

FAQ

What the ".common prop" do?

Calling booru.commonfy not only transforms all the xml into json, it adds a .common prop to each image

common: {
  file_url: 'https://aaaa.com/image.jpg',   //The direct link to the image, ready to post
  id: '124125',                             //The image ID, as a string
  tags: ['cat', 'cute'],                    //The tags, split into an Array
  score: 5,                                 //The score as a Number
  source: 'https://giraffeduck.com/aaa.png',//source of the image, if supplied
  rating: 's'                               //rating of the image
}

s: 'Safe' q: 'Questionable' e: 'Explicit' u: 'Unrated'

Derpibooru has Safe, Suggestive, Questionable, Explicit, although Suggestive will be shown as q in image.common

Can I contribute?

Sure! Just fork this repo, push your changes, and then make a PR.

I'll accept PR based on what they do and code style (Not super strict about it, but it's best if it roughly follows the rest of the code)

Why?

Why not?

This is terrible code
