Everyone at Comic Vine is pleased to announce the Comic Vine API. Using the API, we hope our users can find crazy new ways to use our data. If you're a developer, check out the API site and sign up for an API key.

This forum should be used for any questions regarding the API, including technical questions. If you're having trouble with something, post a question. I'll be frequenting regularly to answer any questions.

We're also planning on adding more data to the API in the near future. If you have a cool idea but can't find the data you need, please ask.

so which data exactly does this entail? the HTML data, etc. that makes ComicVine a website or the data that has been submitted by the users?

It's all data. Just pure data. Any formatting has to be done by the application using the API.
See the documentation for details.

If someone's making a program or script that uses Comic Vine's data, they'll be able to use it. That's who it's intended for, but it could also be used by other people who just want to look at the data.

You can click where it says "Comic Vine API." It's not something for everyone. Basically if you're a developer and would love to use our data (for non-commerical uses).

That's really sweet. I've been really wanting to write a comic inventory program for a while now. A sweet comicvine API is just what I needed.

Imagine if you will if you could create a website, a webapplication on your own displaying information from the Comic Vine database. You can only READ the information. You can API as a bridge, I think. Your program is Manhattan and the Comic Vine is Brooklyn, the Cars would be information, and the API would be a One-Way-only Brooklyn Bridge.

Information can be your program "asks" comicvine's API for «Superman» and then it gets a list of all the issues Superman was into: Action Comics #1, Action Comics #2, Action Comics #3, Superman #1, Superman #2, and so on..... it this making any sense at all?
