<p>Manebooru provides a JSON API for major site functionality, which can be freely used by anyone wanting to produce tools for the site or other web applications that use the data provided within Manebooru.</p>
<h2 id="licensing">Licensing</h2>
<p>Anyone may use the API, but do note that POST and UPDATE methods are not going to work without an account token. Anonymous participation is not permitted on the site. Note that Users making abusively high numbers of requests or excessively expensive requests will be asked to stop, and banned if they do not. Your application must properly cache, and respect server-side cache expiry times. Your client must gracefully back off if requests fail, preferably exponentially or fatally.</p>
<p>If images are used, the artist must always be credited (if provided) and the original source URL must be displayed alongside the image, either in textual form or as a link. A link to the Manebooru page is optional but recommended; we recommend the manebooru.art domain as a canonical domain. The <code>https:</code> protocol must be specified on all URLs.</p>
<h2 id="parameters">Parameters</h2>
<p>This is a list of general parameters that are useful when working with the API. Not all parameters may be used in every request.</p>

<p>Manebooru provides a JSON API for major site functionality, which can be freely used by anyone wanting to produce tools for the site or other web applications that use the data provided within Manebooru.</p>
<h2 id="licensing">Licensing</h2>
<p>Anyone may use the API, but do note that POST and UPDATE methods are not going to work without an account token. Anonymous participation is not permitted on the site. Note that Users making abusively high numbers of requests or excessively expensive requests will be asked to stop, and banned if they do not. Your application must properly cache, and respect server-side cache expiry times. Your client must gracefully back off if requests fail, preferably exponentially or fatally.</p>
<p>If images are used, the artist must always be credited (if provided) and the original source URL must be displayed alongside the image, either in textual form or as a link. A link to the Manebooru page is optional but recommended; we recommend the manebooru.art domain as a canonical domain. The <code>https:</code> protocol must be specified on all URLs.</p>
<h2 id="parameters">Parameters</h2>

<p>Anyone may use the API, but do note that POST and UPDATE methods are not going to work without an account token. Anonymous participation is not permitted on the site. Note that Users making abusively high numbers of requests or excessively expensive requests will be asked to stop, and banned if they do not. Your application must properly cache, and respect server-side cache expiry times. Your client must gracefully back off if requests fail, preferably exponentially or fatally.</p>
<p>If images are used, the artist must always be credited (if provided) and the original source URL must be displayed alongside the image, either in textual form or as a link. A link to the Derpibooru page is optional but recommended; we recommend the derpibooru.org domain as a canonical domain. The <code>https:</code> protocol must be specified on all URLs.</p>

<p>Derpibooru provides a JSON API for major site functionality, which can be freely used by anyone wanting to produce tools for the site or other web applications that use the data provided within Derpibooru.</p>
<h2 id="licensing">Licensing</h2>
<p>Anyone may use the API, but do note that POST and UPDATE methods are not going to work without an account token. Anonymous participation is not permitted on the site. Note that Users making abusively high numbers of requests or excessively expensive requests will be asked to stop, and banned if they do not. Your application must properly cache, and respect server-side cache expiry times. Your client must gracefully back off if requests fail, preferably exponentially or fatally.</p>
<p>If images are used, the artist must always be credited (if provided) and the original source URL must be displayed alongside the image, either in textual form or as a link. A link to the Derpibooru page is optional but recommended; we recommend the derpibooru.org domain as a canonical domain. The <code>https:</code> protocol must be specified on all URLs.</p>
<h2 id="parameters">Parameters</h2>
<p>This is a list of general parameters that are useful when working with the API. Not all parameters may be used in every request.</p>

<p>Derpibooru provides a JSON API for major site functionality, which can be freely used by anyone wanting to produce tools for the site or other web applications that use the data provided within Derpibooru.</p>
<p>Note that if you are looking to <em>continuously scrape the entire website</em>, we offer <a href="/pages/data_dumps">nightly database dumps</a> instead. Consider if these suit your needs first, then rely on the API if they do not.</p>
<h2 id="licensing">Licensing</h2>
<p>Anyone may use the API. Users making abusively high numbers of requests or excessively expensive requests will be asked to stop, and banned if they do not. Your application must properly cache, and respect server-side cache expiry times. Your client must gracefully back off if requests fail, preferably exponentially or fatally.</p>
<p>Anyone may use the API, but do note that POST and UPDATE methods are not going to work without an account token. Anonymous participation is not permitted on the site. Note that Users making abusively high numbers of requests or excessively expensive requests will be asked to stop, and banned if they do not. Your application must properly cache, and respect server-side cache expiry times. Your client must gracefully back off if requests fail, preferably exponentially or fatally.</p>
<p>If images are used, the artist must always be credited (if provided) and the original source URL must be displayed alongside the image, either in textual form or as a link. A link to the Derpibooru page is optional but recommended; we recommend the derpibooru.org domain as a canonical domain. The <code>https:</code> protocol must be specified on all URLs.</p>

<p>Derpibooru provides a JSON API for major site functionality, which can be freely used by anyone wanting to produce tools for the site or other web applications that use the data provided within Derpibooru.</p>
<p>Note that if you are looking to <em>continuously scrape the entire website</em>, we offer <a href="/pages/data_dumps">nightly database dumps</a> instead. Consider if these suit your needs first, then rely on the API if they do not.</p>
<h2 id="licensing">Licensing</h2>
<p>Anyone may use the API. Users making abusively high numbers of requests or excessively expensive requests will be asked to stop, and banned if they do not. Your application must properly cache, and respect server-side cache expiry times. Your client must gracefully back off if requests fail, preferably exponentially or fatally.</p>
<p>If images are used, the artist must always be credited (if provided) and the original source URL must be displayed alongside the image, either in textual form or as a link. A link to the Derpibooru page is optional but recommended; we recommend the derpibooru.org domain as a canonical domain. The <code>https:</code> protocol must be specified on all URLs.</p>
<h2 id="parameters">Parameters</h2>
<p>This is a list of general parameters that are useful when working with the API. Not all parameters may be used in every request.</p>
