About Pawchive¶
Pawchive is the only backend supported by KToolBox v1. KToolBox uses its public API to discover creators and posts, then downloads files from the dedicated Pawchive file host.
Default endpoints¶
| Purpose | Default |
|---|---|
| Public API | https://pawchive.pw/api/v1 |
| Creator icons and banners | https://pawchive.pw |
| Post files | https://file.pawchive.pw/data/... |
API requests never carry an account session. downloader.session_key, when configured, is sent only as the session cookie to file-download requests.
Supported API scope¶
KToolBox implements all 14 operations in the published OpenAPI document that do not require cookieAuth: creator and post discovery, profiles, announcements, fancards, links, post details, file-hash search, post flag status and submission, revisions, comments, and application version.
The five account-favorites operations require a signed-in Pawchive account and are intentionally excluded.
Responsible use¶
Respect applicable laws, platform terms, creator rights, and storage limits. Use bounded synchronization (--length) and file-size limits when first testing a creator.
