NHentaiAPI 1.8.0

NHentaiAPI

A full nHentai API implementation for .NET

⚠️ If nHentai changes their API format, please create an issue to let me know!

Important Notes

User Agent Requirements

A User-Agent is required to use this API. The client will throw an error if none is provided. You can get your User-Agent by:

1. Going to https://www.whatismybrowser.com/detect/what-is-my-user-agent/
2. Or by opening Developer Tools (F12) in your browser, going to Network tab, and looking at the "User-Agent" header in any request

Example:

var client = new NHentaiClient("Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36");

CSRF Token (If Required)

If nHentai implements CSRF protection, you can get the token by:

1. Opening Developer Tools (F12)
2. Going to Network tab
3. Looking for a request header named 'x-csrf-token' or a cookie named 'csrf_token'
4. Pass it to the client using the cookies dictionary

Important: The CSRF token must be obtained from the same IP address and User-Agent that will be used with the API. Using a token from a different IP or User-Agent will result in authentication failures.

var cookies = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
    {"csrf_token", "your-token-here"}
};
var client = new NHentaiClient("your-user-agent", cookies);
