description	Integrate LoliAPI endpoints (https://www.loliapi.com) into frontend pages and components with framework-agnostic Fetch workflows. Use when requests involve random ACG images, avatars, or background images; selecting acg/pc/pe/pp/bg endpoints; handling id and type=url parameters; implementing loading/error states; adding timeout/retry/cache behavior; or troubleshooting redirect/CORS/image-loading issues. Use when this capability is needed.

LoliAPI Frontend

Overview

Implement reliable frontend integrations for LoliAPI image endpoints. Default to framework-agnostic JavaScript + Fetch and adapt to React/Vue only when explicitly requested.

Workflow Decision Tree

1. Determine output type.

• Need a visible image quickly: use endpoint URL directly as <img src>.
• Need the source URL string for composition/logging/storage: call endpoint with type=url.

2. Determine endpoint family.

• Adaptive image: /acg/
• Desktop image: /acg/pc/
• Mobile image: /acg/pe/
• Avatar image: /acg/pp/
• Random background image: /bg/

3. Determine randomness strategy.

• Random image: omit id.
• Stable image: pass id=<integer>.

4. Apply resilience defaults.

• Validate inputs before request.
• Apply timeout via AbortController.
• Retry once for transient network failures.
• Provide loading, success, and error UI states.

5. Escalate to diagnostics.

• Read references/troubleshooting.md when response shape, redirect behavior, or rendering is inconsistent.

Required Output Contract

When generating integration code, include all items below unless the user explicitly opts out.

1. Expose one URL builder function that accepts endpoint, optional id, and optional type.
2. Use URL and URLSearchParams instead of string concatenation.
3. Include timeout handling and user-facing error fallback.
4. Document whether code relies on redirect behavior or type=url.
5. Keep code framework-agnostic by default; adapt only when requested.

Reference Loading Rules

1. Read references/endpoints.md first for endpoint capabilities and parameter behavior.
2. Read references/frontend-patterns.md when generating concrete code.
3. Read references/troubleshooting.md only when debugging or hardening behavior.
4. Treat /getip/ as low-trust documentation unless independently verified.

Guardrails

1. Never assume /getip/ examples are correct; the source document section is inconsistent.
2. Avoid assumptions beyond documented endpoint behavior.
3. Prefer deterministic fallback behavior:

• If id is invalid, drop id and fetch random.
• If type is invalid, omit type and accept default redirect.
