KawaiiAPI.NET is a C# client library that allows you to interact with the Kawaii.Red API to retrieve random GIF URLs based on different categories. Whether you're building a fun application, a website, or just want to add some cuteness to your project, this library makes it easy to fetch adorable GIFs.
You can install the KawaiiAPI.NET library via NuGet Package Manager
Install-Package KawaiiAPI.NET
Or by using the .NET CLI:
dotnet add package KawaiiAPI.NET
-
Obtain an API Token: To use the KawaiiAPI.NET library, you need an API token from Kawaii.Red. You can sign up on their website to get a token. https://kawaii.red/
-
Initialize the Client: Once you have an API token, you can create an instance of the
KawaiiClient
class. If you don't provide a token, the client will use the anonymous token by default.
using KawaiiAPI.NET;
// Initialize the client with your API token
var client = new KawaiiClient("your-api-token");
- Retrieve Random GIFs: You can use the
GetRandomGifAsync
method to retrieve a random GIF URL from a specific category. Pass the desiredKawaiiGifType
to the method.
using KawaiiAPI.NET.Enums;
// Get a random GIF URL from a specific category
string gifUrl = await client.GetRandomGifAsync(KawaiiGifType.Cats);`
Here's an example of how you can use the KawaiiAPI.NET library to retrieve a random hug
GIF:
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using KawaiiAPI.NET;
using KawaiiAPI.NET.Enums;
class Program
{
static async Task Main(string[] args)
{
var kawaiiclient = new KawaiiClient("your-api-token");
try
{
string catGifUrl = await kawaiiclient.GetRandomGifAsync(KawaiiGifType.Hug);
Console.WriteLine($"Random Cat GIF URL: {hugGifUrl}");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"An error occurred: {ex.Message}");
}
}
}
using System;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using KawaiiAPI.NET;
namespace DependencyInjectionExample
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create a service collection
var services = new ServiceCollection();
// Register KawaiiClient in the service collection
services.AddSingleton<KawaiiClient>(sp =>
{
var apiKey = "your-api-key"; // Replace with your actual API key
return new KawaiiClient(apiKey);
});
// Build the service provider
var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();
// Get an instance of KawaiiClient from the service provider
var kawaiiClient = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<KawaiiClient>();
// Now you can use the kawaiiClient to get random GIF URLs
try
{
var randomGifUrl = kawaiiClient.GetRandomGifAsync(KawaiiGifType.Cats).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
Console.WriteLine($"Random GIF URL: {randomGifUrl}");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"An error occurred: {ex.Message}");
}
}
}
}
