Hello everyone! Well, here's the thing. I have seen that many web pages like F-List have a mobile app. Well want to make something like that but for e621.

I am a Java developer but I need help working the 'where do I start exactly', like, how do I use the API?

There is another question too, in the "My Account" page shows an option called 'manage API access', when opened it gives you a key, what is the use of that key?

If someone could please help me out I would be totally thankful, since at the end, this small project I want to start would be beneficial for most people. So again, thanks for reading this and helping. And sorry if my English is not the best, it is not my native language :p anyway, with my best regards, Alastair~

Hello Alastair!

Here's the API documentation that answers some of your questions:

https://e621.net/help/show/api

I got a question not quite related to this post, hope you don't mind me asking here.
While developing a plugin for Esix, I used the API as well. However, I only managed to get it working if I inject the code that interacts with the API into the Esix page.
I was wondering if it's possible to use the API outside of the site and how would that be achieved? For example, on a site that I host or just a popup page?

Best wishes, bb
