Crate dot4ch 

dot4ch

dot4ch is a convenient wrapper library around an imageboard’s read-only API.

This library can fetch and update:

• Thread
• Catalog
• Board

While respecting:

• 1 second-per-request rate-limits.
• If-Modified-Since headers with update requests.
• 10 seconds per thread update rate limits.

Example: Printing the comment from a thread.

use dot4ch::thread::Post;
use dot4ch::thread::Thread;
use dot4ch::Client;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let client = Client::new();
    let mut thread = Thread::new(&client, "po", 570368).await?;

    // update thread
    thread.update(&client).await?;

    // print thread's OP comment
    let comment = thread.first().and_then(Post::com).unwrap();
    let comment = comment.replace("<br>", "\n"); // replace line breaks
    println!("op says: {comment}");
    Ok(())
}
