Hi!
Recently I create a comic management software for my little collection and used the comicvine api.
(Thank you for making this database available to everyone!)
Suddenly, a few weeks ago, my program was no longer able to get volume information from the database, and I didn't know why.
I got an url format error. The url format, the API uses, has been changed and I didn't read anything about it. Neither on the list of resources, nor on the forum.
I wouldn't have been able to solve the problem, if someone hadn't asked the same thing on the forum. And it was replied, that you now have to put the resource id into the url.
So my questions are:
1. Where is the list to all the new resource IDs you have to use now? (4050 for volume, that's all I know)
2. How can I stay up to date, with changes to the API?
Can't you guys have a new thread for every major update with all the changes or something like that?
3. It would be EXTREMELY helpful if you guys would put like 2 sentences into the API resources page on how to search in general and how to search for a volume/issue etc...
I mean: I had to search the internet for over an hour or something, just to find out, that, if you want to search for a keyword, you need to use e.g this url:
http://comicvine.com/api/search/?api_key=...API KEY...&resource=volumes&field_list=name,start_year,count_of_issues,id&query=
