Kemono

Kemono copied to clipboard

This repository contains the obsolete, original version of Kemono, and has not been updated in over a year as of this writing. It is HIGHLY recommended you use Kemono2/Kitsune instead. No support for Kemono1 instances are guaranteed.

Kemono is an open-source reimplementation of yiff.party. It archives and dumps data, images, and files from paysites like Patreon.

Kemono's codebase consists of both importers to handle API data and a frontend to share it. While the status of the project is considered stable, there may be bugs and weird quirks here and there. Beware!
