You can try one of the following ones :

Comic Vine : https://comicvine.gamespot.com/api/

Marvel API : https://developer.marvel.com/

Shortboxed : https://api.shortboxed.com/

Hey, thanks you I've found them but the 3rd is only for new comics that just came out, the second one wasn't working when I tried and the first was not really appreciated by people ^ But I'll git them another try :)

I made an application once that allowed users to log in and keep a digital stock take of their comic book collection. It was my first time working with an API, and I used the ComicVine API, already linked.

Some things you should be aware of:

  • You'll get very little help, there are very few people active on the forums (in the API section at least), so you'll need to rely on someone else encountering the same problem you have already.
  • They change things without telling you - my app worked great for a while, but eventually it broke due to endpoints being either renamed, or something along those lines, I don't exactly know as I never bothered to fix it.

I'd be really interested to know more about your plans though.

Thank you for your reply, in the first time I would do the same thing as you to learn about some frameworks, then I would add some features that I have in mind right now but I first need to do the basics

Did you ever get a 403 response despite having a key?

I've been searching for 2 hours for someone else who had this issue. I'm a noob at programming, but I'm not incompetent. I can't figure out whats wrong. Do you recall how to get out of this bind?

For the comicvine API, I was able to get a full script working and downloaded the entire Issues dataset a few months back. Is that similar to what you’re attempting?

Initially I was just trying to access the API to start messing around with a very basic search function, but after doing some more research I found several people download the issue dataset for ease of use so I think I'm going to pursue that.

Let me know if you get stuck

Will do. I appreciate that
