This benchmark search 10 latest post from danbooru.

As of version 2.2.0, BooruDex changed all object models (Post, Tag, ..) from struct to class. So the memory(RAM) usage increased a little, before it was about 68.76 KB.

Refer to this repository for the benchmark log and source code.

Get 10 random post from danbooru.donmai.us.

var client = new DanbooruDonmai();
var posts = await client.GetRandomPostAsync(10);
foreach (var post in posts)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Id: { post.ID }");
    Console.WriteLine($"File url: { post.FileUrl }");
}
