⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

Does anyone know how to get the image url from the $meta object of another generator? I think there's an /api/ fetch I can do for it, but that stuff isn't documented anywhere, I don't think.

I've just added documentation for all the public APIs here: https://perchance.org/advanced-tutorial Thanks!

Ah great! I just noticed this but the apis on that tutorial page only just showed up. I'll be trying them out!

I don't suppose you could add an id to that <h2> could you? So we can link people direct to that section? 😉

The endpoint for getting the generator stats/metadata is https://perchance.org/api/getGeneratorStats?names={names}, it would return a list of data based on the generator names inputted and it would give a metadata property per generator that you can access.

Here is an example of using it: https://perchance.org/generator-list-with-stats-2-template#edit

Ah cool... thanks!

Do you know if there's anywhere documenting /api/? Or at least listing endpoints/params so I can test and write my own docs for it?

No, I don't think there is. The public ones that I've seen are:

Great thanks!

And of course with the new tags $meta property, there's also api/getGeneratorList?tags=foo ref
