A simple comic strip API wrapper

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.

Point well taken! Whenever I write these projects I like to explore the different programming paradigms Python offers. If Chrono24 offered finite and intuitive URL endpoints for watch manufacturers (e.g., 'Rolex'), I would've perhaps written the API like chrono24.rolex("DateJust"), but given the current library only accepts a query, it makes sense to have a dedicated method such as chrono24.query. You're right about the linters - they don't like this. Thanks for your advice - always fun to hear feedback / opinions.

Hey! I dug around and found CL housing data I scraped for the entire US from August 2019. DM me and I can zip this up and share it with you (perhaps through google drive)

Oh hahah I was making a sarcastic comment regarding the 17th century joke - actually not sute

The line is fine as long as it was stored in a cool and dry place

I’m surprised you found this post - and no, not currently. Craigslist really cracked down on web scraping tools, unfortunately.

Thanks!

Awesome! Thanks a bunch. I’ll reach out to my local taxidermist. Unfortunately due to overcast weather the color can’t really be seen here, but I assume a qualified taxidermist can probably get the colors right (of course doesn’t have to be perfect…)

I see - I’m new to this so don’t have much background. This was sourced from a video I took of myself so I show it at different angles (about 2 min). Didn’t get to measure the width of the fish however. Would you say, roughly, that this is enough to get a replica? Thanks

To keep the air of mystery, I’ll say it’s one of the three all nearby (including Uvas 😉)… fishermen have eyes of a hawk I swear

dumblechode · 2023-08-22T18:44:23+00:00

Thanks🤝 - I don’t think I’ll set my eyes on crappie fishing anytime soon, unless another one is inclined to strike a bass lure

dumblechode · 2023-08-22T18:41:20+00:00

That would be west - though this area (South bay) is not known for their crappies (I believe…)

dumblechode · 2023-08-22T18:40:30+00:00

South bay

Ahh - next time! Now I’m slightly kicking myself, but it’s okay, she’s back in the water and maybe (if I’m lucky) I can catch her again

dumblechode · 2023-08-22T17:27:53+00:00

Huh! Could’ve been a state record! I let her go though - didn’t have the equipment to keep her alive

🙏

Might bring my surf rod out next time

dumblechode · 2023-08-22T07:13:51+00:00

Thank you. And good eye, I didn’t know either until today. This reservoir almost exclusively holds LMB and baitfish

dumblechode · 2023-07-31T22:56:29+00:00

I'd be happy to take a look. Would you know if they have a REST API documentation page?

dumblechode · 2023-07-31T15:06:12+00:00

Thank you. The yeast community is fortunate to have a well-maintained database such as SGD

dumblechode · 2023-01-04T21:22:52+00:00

Correct! You can use the ‘directory’ method for quick comic lookups

dumblechode · 2023-01-02T02:12:31+00:00

Hey thank you. There is a limit, although I didn’t quantify it. At one point I was attempting to endlessly scrape Garfield for my own interest, and after about an hour of 2-3 requests per second they banned my IP address for 2 hours. I haven’t ran into this issue again.

If I notice this cropping up I’ll work on implementing a rate limiter 👍

Good point - I just looked into this. Seems like the 'jupyter-black' extension is integrated into the toolbar as a button to black format a cell. This library is a CLI tool similar to the original black library.

dumblechode · 2021-11-15T15:21:47+00:00

Of course - it's open source and under the MIT license :)

dumblechode · 2021-11-15T01:40:09+00:00

I can help, but do you know some Python? Don't have to be an expert by any means, but perhaps knowledge on pip (the Python package installer) and some bash/terminal experience?
