Integrating search with whatanime.ga

To add whatanime.ga as a search option for your site, pass the image URL via query string like this

https://whatanime.ga/?url=http://searchimageurl

You can also specify playback options like this

https://whatanime.ga/?autoplay=0&loop&mute=1&url=http://searchimageurl

Playback URL params:

param	value	default (not set in URL param)	set with empty or other value
autoplay	0 or 1	1	1
mute	0 or 1	0	1
loop	0 or 1	0	1

The auto URL parameter is no longer used, it would always search automatically when there is ?url= param.

Note that the server cannot access private image URLs. In that case, users has to copy and paste (Ctrl+V/Cmd+V) the image directly, or save and upload the file.
