# ThisPersonDoesNotExistAPI
Unofficial "API" for the [ThisPersonDoesNotExist](https://thispersondoesnotexist.com/) website.
## What is ThisPersonDoesNotExist?
A page that returns a JPEG picture of a person that does not exist, because it has been generated using an AI.
When opening the webpage, a image is returned directly, and refreshing the page will return a new image (although they can be repeated because the repository is limited and images are not generated on real time).
Some articles about it:
- [This Person Does Not Exist - Computer generated people Refresh to get a new one | Product Hunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/this-person-does-not-exist)
- [Thispersondoesnotexist.com is face-generating AI at its creepiest](https://thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2019/02/13/thispersondoesnotexist-com-is-face-generating-ai-at-its-creepiest/)
## Why creating/using an "API"?
Why not? Use your imagination!
## Requirements
* Python 3.6
* requests library
* free time
## Install it with pip
```bash
pip install git+https://github.com/David-Lor/ThisPersonDoesNotExistAPI
```
## Usage
### Get a person using function
```python
from thispersondoesnotexist import get_online_person
picture = get_online_person() # bytes representation of the image
# Save to a file
from thispersondoesnotexist import save_picture
save_picture(picture, "a_beautiful_person.jpeg")
# If no filename is provided, one will be generated using the checksum of the picture
save_picture(picture)
```
### Get a person using class
```python
from thispersondoesnotexist import Person
# Initialize with True to automatically get a person from the webpage
person = Person(fetch_online=True)
# Save to a file
person.save("a_beautiful_person.jpeg")
# If no filename is provided, one will be generated using the checksum of the picture
person.save()
```
### Generate checksums
This can be useful if you want to create a scraper of fictional persons. You would be calling the methods to get random pictures, and to avoid repeating them, you can use their checksum - or just save with the auto-generated filename.
```python
from thispersondoesnotexist import get_online_person, get_checksum_from_picture, Person
# Using object
person = Person(fetch_online=True)
checksum = person.get_checksum("md5")
# Using function
picture = get_online_person()
checksum2 = get_checksum_from_picture(picture) # Method is optional, defaults to "md5"
```
