Rust bindings for the [e621.net](https://e926.net) API.
E621 is a large online archive of furry (anthropomorphic) art. `rs621` provides
easy-to-use bindings to its public HTTP API. It uses the `reqwest` crate to make
the requests over HTTPS.
## Features
- Regular tag searching, using any of the search options from the website.
- Unlimited result count (automatically makes more requests in sequence to go
beyond the API limit of 320 posts per request).
## Usage
First, create a `Client`. You have to provide a descriptive User-Agent for your
project. The official API encourages you to include your E621 username so that
you may be contacted if your project causes problems.
```rust
let client = Client::new("MyProject/1.0 (by username on e621)")?;
```
Now it's ready to go! For example you can get post #8595 like this:
```rust
let post = client.get_post(8595)?;
assert_eq!(post.id, 8595);
```
Or you can make a search like on the website, using tags:
```rust
for post in client.list(&["fluffy", "rating:s"][..]).take(20) {
println!("{}", post);
}
```
## Requirements
`rs621` uses the reqwest crate, which itself uses rust-openssl. It has some
requirements:
On Linux:
- OpenSSL 1.0.1, 1.0.2, or 1.1.0 with headers (see
[rust-openssl](https://github.com/sfackler/rust-openssl)).
On Windows and macOS:
- Nothing.
See [reqwest on crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/reqwest) for more details.
