Example

search()

Takes parameter (query: str, block: str = "", limit: int = 100, page: int = 1, random: bool = True, gacha: bool = False)

import asyncio
import booru

async def main():
    dan = booru.Danbooru()
    res = await dan.search(query="cat_girl", block="futanari")
    print(res) ## this is <class 'str'>
    print(booru.resolve(res)) ## this is <class 'list'>

asyncio.run(main())

• You will never gets content which contains futa tags.

You can also import specific booru client.

from booru import Rule34
some_booru = Rule34()

## do with r34

search_image()

Takes parameter (query: str, block: str = "", limit: int = 100, page: int = 1)

import asyncio
from booru import Rule34

async def main():
    r34 = Rule34()
    img = await r34.search_image(query="cat_girl", block="futanari")
    print(img)

asyncio.run(main())

• This will parses image url only, instead object

find_tags()

You want to wildcard or query completion like the browser do?

What browser looks like

This library also

import asyncio
from booru import Danbooru, resolve

async def main():
    dan = Danbooru()
    find_tags = await dan.find_tags("jeanne") ## arbitrary tags
    wildcard = resolve(find_tags)
    print(wildcard)

asyncio.run(main())

• Get the wildcard[0] for the best match.

booru.resolve()

You will need this for every object, this library designed to be neat and clean returns, although it must be reparsed to the string first, that's why booru.resolve() exist.
