Hey.
Yeah, I know, it's an odd question for this site, but whatever.
Does anyone of you guys know how to recieve a XML list of tags from specified category only (characters, artists etc)?
So far I figured out that this would get some random tags: rule34.xxx/index.php?page...amp;limit=150&q=index
But I don't know the variables to customize the request.
Any help?

Ya, what was I expecting?

Yeah, I'd really like to be able to do what rule34.xxx/index.php?page=tags&s=list does in an api request. The api documentation does say basics, so maybe it's already implemented?

use the pid parameter

start at pid=0 and increment the number until the result set is empty

Does that search for tags? i.e. I want to be able to do an api request for *tag* and have it return tag_tag, tagtag e.t.c.

unfortunately i can't find any way to do those queries through the API

i think you'll just have to scrape the HTML at rule34.xxx/index.php?page=tags&s=list&tags=*tag*

rule34.xxx/index.php?page=dapi&s=tag&q=index

we know that part; BlackStealth's problem is that he wants to get a filtered list, e.g. all tags matching a particular pattern

Oh i didn't read it all lol

rule34.xxx/index.php?page...ex&name_pattern=%tag%

Thank you, this helped me SOOO much!

I am using a bit modified url api.rule34.xxx//index.php...;q=index&name=tagName
