About

PixivPy is rather a powerful Pixiv API. But its responses are raw json and need further processing before being used. And both PublicAPI and AppAPI has its pros and cons.

This package is designed to serve as a proxy API for PixivPy. User can just fetch illustrations they want and doesn't need to think about trifles like paging parameters or response's json structure.

My main motivation is to write a pixiv crawler to download images. So unrelated APIs are not implemented. It's welcome to help me implement those APIs.

P.S. English and Chinese discussion is OK. Please forgive me for the poor English. Fixing typo is also welcome.

To run tests, simply use command pytest.

---

To run web tests, which will check the availability of Pixiv's API and the schema of the response data, you need to first create the file secret.json in the root directory of the project, and fill in the account information you will use for testing in the following format:

{
  "password": "pa33w0rd",
  "refresh_token": "123456789_abcdefghijk",
  "requests_kwargs": {},
  "username": "foobar@example.com"
}

Then use command pytest webtests --no-cov to run web tests.
