README

show-waifu

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

Using the CLI app to show an anime girl in a 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

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

Move the show-waifu executable into your bin

# 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

~/bin/show-waifu

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

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!

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

    echo 'export DANBOORU_USERNAME="your-name-here"' >> ~/.bashrc
    echo 'export DANBOORU_API_KEY="api-key-here"' >> ~/.bashrc
    
  • Add this snippet to ~/.bash_profile

    echo "if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
    . ~/.bashrc
     fi" >> ~/.bash_profile
    
  • Reload the Bash configuration

    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

    # Both environmental variables should pop-up
    printenv | grep -E '(DANBOORU_USERNAME|DANBOORU_API_KEY)'
    
    # Search with more than 2 tags
    show-waifu dan --safe --tags="when_the_imposter_is_sus_(meme) jerma985 cat_boy cat_paws cat_ears chartags:1"
