Hi,
I am trying to find a given issue (let's say #33) of a given series (let's say "Thor (1966)".
First I get the series id, no problem: search volumes for "thor" and get the one I want: series.id = 2994.
Now, I need to search for issue #33. This is harder than it seems.
1. The obvious approach would be to get this from a simple query to the volume (api.comicvine.com/volume/2994). But since the query for volume=2994 returns all the issues but providing their name and id, not issue_number, I would need to loop querying through all issues until I find #33... which requires many connections for a single issue!!!!
2. Next, I tried searches over the issue resource and did not get anywhere.
3. Last, I was left with trying to filter, from the huge list of all issues, those belonging to a given volume:
http://api.comicvine.com/issues/?api_key=....&volume=2294&format=xml
but this did not work either.
So, since I cannot search on issues or filter as shown, I need to resort to way 1, which is the less efficient. Am I missing something or doing something wrong?
Thanks.
