killswitch

killswitch is the Proxy API behind lio.to/yiff.

It sits between small clients and image board backends, so those clients do not have to care about each board’s URL shape, tag syntax, pagination, or failure modes.

It is also a generalized API for image boards, primarily furry ones. The goal is to normalize search and media lookup across different boards while keeping the public surface small, boring, and easy to build against.

It currently focuses on:

• proxying requests for lio.to/yiff
• normalizing image board responses into a consistent shape
• hiding board-specific quirks behind one API
• prioritizing furry image boards first, while leaving room for compatible boards later

If you are seeing killswitch/v{version} in a User-Agent or logs, it is probably this.
