Search TBIB with eleven other sites at once
The Big ImageBoard is an aggregator — a broad mixed archive assembled largely from other boards rather than from original uploads.
That makes it excellent for coverage and poor for novelty: it will find things that have fallen off other sites, and it will also return copies of what you have already seen. Best paired with duplicate merging on.
What you need to know
- Account
- Not needed at all
- API dialect
- Gelbooru 0.2 — page/pid query parameters, zero-based paging
- Media delivery
- Direct from the site’s own CDN — nothing is proxied, so files load at full speed
How All34 searches it
- Combine it with other sites. Add any of the other eleven and one query hits them all, results interleaved or grouped site by site.
- Different tags per site. TBIB tags do not always match another board’s, so each site can carry its own query in the same search.
- Duplicates merged. A file that also exists elsewhere appears once, marked with where else it is — and which copy is largest.
- Your own key, your own browser. Credentials are stored locally and sent per request; they are never part of a URL.
