API? Anonymous 05/06/17 (Sat) 17:03:21 cb8e37 No.5629

I wouldn't think hydrus has a simple HTTP api

it would be nice if I could send a request over http with some credentials (or not) to a service that listens on the webserver port.

I'm thinking something like

[code]

{

"search_args":["system:age < 0y0m7d0h","meme","character:pepe"],

"order":"random",

"result_count":30,

"page":0

}

Not perfect, pagination is there since querying a response with 10k images is going to take ages, so having a limit, then sending another request for another page of results is ideal, however it would be implemented.

I'm basically just wanting a simple way to get images, that isn't limited to a shared gallery, and some fucked up HTML scraping

I absolutely plan to do this, although it will be a big job.

The first step (which has been most requested by other users) will be to add a POST request that takes a file path to import (and some tags with it). This should make it easier to write scripts that pull files and tags from complicated sources and then push them into hydrus.

Performing search queries through a common standard like json would also be great, although allowing remote queries (as opposed to only accepting from localhost) would take care to get right, maybe some login system or other clientside permissions setup. Wouldn't want to make a public-facing all-access portal to all your media!

That's why I'm thinking of having a API service, which could have tokens for access, like a password as such. this would be a part of the URL for api access.

Each token could have limitations like rate-limiting, max allowed items in a single response, or so on.

However, if you were to have public facing, if you actually needed to download the image, it would have to be in an image gallery / you need to be running a image repository with token access.

Adds to the complication.

But even just having it as a local access, with access to local paths for getting images / putting images makes provides the most functional benefit

Does this mean we will eventually be able to incorporate hydrus' features into our own programs through an API?

I'd love to get into some Big Data stuff, hydrus would seem like a good starting point.

That's basically what I want.

I, or anyone else, can easily make my own program, in any language, that uses hydrus' own image or tag repository.

A python script to return a random image

A browser webextension to see if you have tags for an image (system:hash == query)

Could get into the nitty gritty. Return a bunch of values to determine the average dimensions of all your images :^)

Yeah. It'll be in some form of 'hydrus opens an api on a port using http GET/POST, and your external process talks to it'. Probably in JSON as appropriate.

I figure when we have the initial skeleton of this set up, I can add internal functions in my usual schedule. I'm not opposed to anything being easily accessible, so if you can think it, I should think I'll be willing to add it.

Did this get anywhere?

Since this will be a big job, I will put it on the next 'big thing to work on next' poll, which will be up after I am done with the current downloader overhaul.
