show-waifu

A command-line app using the Safebooru + Danbooru API to display anime fanart in your terminal.

Installation

Download show-waifu-1.0.1.tar.gz from releases and extract it using either a GUI or the command line.

If you're using the command line run

sh tar -xf show-waifu-1.0.1.tar.gz

Move the show-waifu executable into your bin

```sh

If ~/bin doesn't exist, create it using the following

mkdir -p ~/bin mv show-waifu ~/bin ```

Test it to see if it works, it should output an image in your terminal

sh ~/bin/show-waifu

To make show-waifu available everywhere on the command line, add ~/bin/ to $PATH and reload the Bash configuration

sh echo 'export PATH=~/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bash_profile source ~/.bash_profile

Test it again, this time without ~/bin/. If it works, you're all set to use it!

sh show-waifu

Cargo

Using Rust's package manager, Cargo, all you have to do is run

sh cargo install show-waifu

If you're not a Rust programmer, install Rust to use Cargo

Danbooru Authentication

For Anonymous and Member-level users, authentication provides no benefits.

Normally, using the dan subcommand limits searches to up to 2 tags. You can bypass this by authenticating with a Gold-level Danbooru account or above.

Gold and Platinum cost money, $20 and $40 respectively, but contributions to the community also award higher levels. See Danbooru help:users for more information.

You can authenticate by doing the following:

• Go to your user profile and generate an API key by clicking the "Generate API key" button

• Create 2 environmental variables named DANBOORU_USERNAME and DANBOORU_API_KEY, then add them to ~/.bashrc

  sh echo 'export DANBOORU_USERNAME="your-name-here"' >> ~/.bashrc echo 'export DANBOORU_API_KEY="api-key-here"' >> ~/.bashrc

• Add this snippet to ~/.bash_profile

  sh echo "if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi" >> ~/.bash_profile

• Reload the Bash configuration

  sh source ~/.bash_profile

• Check environmental variables for your API key and username. After that, make a search with more than 2 tags to verify its functional

  ```sh

  Both environmental variables should pop-up

  printenv | grep -E '(DANBOORUUSERNAME|DANBOORUAPI_KEY)'

  Search with more than 2 tags

  show-waifu dan --safe --tags="whentheimposterissus(meme) jerma985 catboy catpaws catears chartags:1" ```

Example

Grab a random image from the first page of Safebooru

sh show-waifu

Read from stdin and show an image

sh curl -s https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DoWo3unU4AA2etL\?format\=jpg\&name\=large | show-waifu

Search for a specific image on Safebooru based on tags, and print details

sh show-waifu safe --details --tags="ncr_veteran_ranger night~"

Change a local file's height for viewing

sh show-waifu --height 10 file ~/Pictures/doge.jpg
