danbooru api wrapper

I couldn't find one on npmjs.com, so I thought I'd try making my own!

npm i danbooru -S

My api wrapper is super simple! First, you require it:

var Danbooru = require('danbooru');

Then you just refer to Danbooru's lovely api documentation and make requests!

Making requests

Danbooru.get('posts', {limit: 5, tags: 'cat-ears'}, function(err, data) {
    if(err) throw err;
    console.log(data); // All of your cute kittehgirls!
});

You can also use Danbooru.post(), Danbooru.put(), and Danbooru.delete(). They all have the same parameters and give you the same callback!

Danbooru.get(path, [params], [callback])

Perform a GET request on Danbooru's api!

• path string. The API documentation mentions a base URL. You put that here! The slash and .json are optional.
• params object. Just provide your parameters as an object!
• callback function(err, data). What do you wannya do after you get your api request?
  • err Error. Node.js callbacks always give you an error for some reason. Here you go!
  • data object. Parsing JSON output is an extra step, so you don't hafta do it! Here's an already-parsed object for you!

Danbooru.post(path, [params], [callback])

Perform a POST request on Danbooru's api! As far as you needta be concerned, it works exactly like GET!

Danbooru.put(path, [params], [callback])

Perform a PUT request on Danbooru's api! Works exactly like POST!

Danbooru.delete(path, [params], [callback])

Perform a DELETE request on Danbooru's api! Works exactly like POST.

Authentication

You know what's a pain? Having to type the same stuff over and over again. You know what you hafta do if you want to be authenticated on Danbooru? Send your login and api_key over and over again.

var authedBooru = new Danbooru({login: 'topsecret', api_key: 'evenmoresecret'});
authedBooru.post('favorites', {post_id: 2288637}, function(err, data) {
    if(err) throw err;
    console.log('Successfully favorited!'); // Wow, you do like kittehgirls!
});

If that's still too much typing for you, you can use a shortcut!

var shortBooru = Danbooru('topsecret', 'evenmoresecret');

[new] Danbooru(object, api_key)

Save parameters for later. Returns a new Danbooru object that you can use to make requests with those saved parameters.

• object object. string. If you provide an object, it'll be used as default parameters for all requests you make! If you provide a string, it'll set your default login parameter to whatever you provide!
• api_key string. If (and only if) you provided a string for object, this will be used as your default api_key parameter!
