Assuming that this gets responses, this post will periodically be updated with things we are going to do.
 
  • What are you interested in doing with Derpibooru that cannot easily (or at all) be accomplished with the current API?  
  • Are you aware of any API bugs that we should fix?  
  • How often do you resort to parsing/using HTML pages because the API does not provide the right functionality?
     
    Planned:  
  • Write API

API for pushing all new activity is eminently possible considering we already a good bit this functionality in place for our feed loggers.

Seconding the streaming API. WebSockets could work nice for this but polling is also fine.

It’d be rather neat to be able to add or remove tags via the api.
 
I sort of had a thought about making an application that you could run on a separate monitor that you could say search for Gilda, -griffon and then have it cycle through images under that search to add griffon to things or skip them via a pair of hot keys. You could do this for any sort of search like that for people who want an easier way to clean up tags.

It certainly is, I’d agree. Still figured I’d ask. It’d certainly have to be limited to ed s. But I think they can revert a ’s tagging history. I expect more elevated bans, such as ip ones to come faster for such abuse.
 
It could also be midigated by only allowing it to s with a certain age and activity, who are in good standing.

I actually already wrote such an “quick tagging” app as a script but I don’t trust sharing it. It’s a “if you are good enough to be trusted to do it, you are probably are already capable of rolling your own” type of thing. The drawbacks to lowering the bar of entry are far too high. It is good for tagging to require human interaction. A simple well–meaning automation accident could possibly make hours of reversion work for some mod to do.
 
Let it stay deliberately left out. The road to hell paved with good intentions and all that. May the metadata be ever lovingly tended by hand.

One bug that hasn’t been fixed yet is the missing mp4 and webm representations in the json. Or did you remove them on purpose?

Just putting my two cents in: here are the features I’ve missed personally (some of them are relatively easy to add, others may be more time-consuming, while yet others may be deemed unimportant):
 
  • accessing the featured image (there’s been a thread dedicated to that);
     
  • having a “detailed image” endpoint that returns:  
    a ) an array of image tag objects { tag_id => { tag_name, number_of_images } }, which is easier to parse than two separate arrays as it is now and includes number_of_images, saving an individual tag request;  
    b ) er information that is available in the HTML version (their badges);
     
  • having “comments” endpoint that accepts [image_id, page, limit] as parameters (default limit would be set to that specified in settings) and returns HTML rendered comments (the booru uses a custom parser, you don’t want to reinvent the wheel with your application :P) — actually, that could be a third parameter, rendered=(1|0).  
    In addition to that, the output could include all information that is given in /images/{id}/comments, i.e. author badges;
     
  • ditto for individual comment ([comment_id, rendered]);
     
  • having existing endpoints documented (fetch_many, , etc.);
     
  • having an endpoint for settings (filter_id, spoilered/hidden tag ids) — the stuff in window.booru initialization script at the end of <body>;
     
  • having an endpoint for editing tags and source (this could be available for a limited number of s — perhaps those that requested a permission from the staff) — there’s a number of tag-related things that can be automated, e.g. fixing/inserting deviantart/tumblr sources, tracking deviantart artist name changes, etc.
     
    Finally, I’d like to have a way to reset the API key (in case I suspect it may have leaked, or I don’t trust an application I authenticated anymore).
     
    –
     
    Well, that’s about it. Like I’ve said in the beginning, not all of this is actually reasonable to implement, but I hope I gave you some ideas.

If you’re not looking for a way to change the API key through the API, then IIRC changing your should cause it to change. (Or at least I think that’s what was recommended a while ago when someone accidentally leaked their API key in IRC.)
