           .Select(delegate (BooruSharp.Search.Tag.SearchResult res) { return (res.Name); })));

Authentification

Authentification is done by creating a new instance of BooruAuth is specifying it to your Booru instance

E621 / E926

userId is your username
passwordHash is your api key, to get it go to your account page and then in "Manage API Access"

Others booru

For booru authentification, you'll need your user id and your password hash
To get it, I advise you to go on an image, open the developer panel (F12) and go in "Network"
Then press the button to add the image to your favorite and look at the "Cookies" section of the last request

Pixiv

For Pixiv authentification, please use LoginAsync with a refresh token
To get your refresh token, you can follow this tutorial: https://gist.github.com/ZipFile/c9ebedb224406f4f11845ab700124362
