Discord bot that provides an easy way to get anime images and gifs randomly! This project stemmed from me testing how quickly I can get a new Discord app up and running using my bot template. It was so fast (roughly just under a week) in fact that I added way more features out of scope of me initially only wanting to get waifus.
That being said, I had quite a bit of fun with this even if it just was a test run. There were a bunch of really cool anime projects out there when I was trying to look for APIs to retrieve the images. I couldn't settle for just one so I ended up using these 3 super cool and awesome APIs!
- OtakuGifs - High quality gifs in a huge collection to choose from. Pretty straighforward endpoints too
- NekosAPI - Diverse categories with so much metadata of images. Most advanced of the endpoints I've seen out of the 3, I see its v2 is trying to move to json-api specs so that's pretty neat.
- Waifu.im - Possibly the best waifu resource out there, just top tier waifu images all round and an easy-to-use interface. Great sus collections too if you're into that 🤷
