Summary:Tag dumps
Description:I'd like to create a command-line uploader for Gelbooru, where I can enter tags with autocomplete capability without querying API every keystroke. A JSON tag dump created once a week or month would be extremely useful for this purpose. Creating it shouldn't hurt the server - there are about 400k tags, so the JSON would weight 2-3 MB while being perfectly cacheable.

Another option is to expose tag list API with pagination, but to get all the results, I'd have to flood the site with many requests. Assuming one page could show 100 records, I'd need 4k requests, which sounds very bad.

It would be great for this to have tag usages as well, so I could sort the suggestions by their popularity.

Thanks

...I've underestimated the dump size, but if you consider serving it with gzip, it sounds about right. :)

I read somewhere it was 80-300ms between keypresses before you should query an API. We use 150ms on TheDoujin.
