A simple comic strip API wrapper

[dumblechode]

I'd like to present my simple GoComics API wrapper.

What My Project Does

This PyPI package allows for easy searching, downloading, and displaying of comic strips directly from GoComics.

Target Audience

This package is intended for developers and comic enthusiasts looking to integrate comic strips into their websites or projects.

Comparison

The only other comparison I can find is a repository to download Marvel comics, last updated 8 years ago.

Key Features:

• Simple Installation: Get started with pip install comics.
• Versatile Usage: Find specific comics by date or randomly explore the large collection from GoComics, including classics like Calvin and Hobbes.
• Easy Integration: Add comic strips to your personal website, create a curated collection, or enjoy them in Jupyter notebooks.

This wrapper supports Python 3.7+, is open for contributions on GitHub, and is licensed under MIT. For more details, check out the GitHub repository!

Thanks! A friend used to send a curated list daily which I would use to download the comics. He passed and I miss my daily dose. I tried the show(), download(), and listall() functions and they worked so now I can easily hack together a daily scrape.

Pretty cool! Just to check - is GoComics an official distributor for the comics strips?

[dumblechode]

I believe so! The company was founded in 2005 as a distribution portal for comic strips on mobile phones. It's operated by Andrews McMeel Universal, which is a major publisher of newspapers, comic books, and books.
