echolotl.lol backend API thing docs

Hello! This is the backend API for echolotl.lol. You can use these endpoints however you like, but please don't abuse them. There are rate limits.

This is a mega WIP as I learn Elysia and backend stuff. You can view the source code here.

Status

Discord OAuth

Lets you login with Discord for echolotl.lol. This is what will power any authenticated requests.

Comments

Lets people leave comments (and replies) on art pieces (or, theoretically, anything in the future), identified by a slug. Posting, editing, and deleting comments requires an active session cookie from Discord OAuth. The slugs provided aren't checked for existence in actuality.
