Example of an API call for getting series that include the queried issue

First off, thanks for this great resource. Rate-limiting notwithstanding, I think this is such an amazing API that you can build on top of.

I had some questions around how to structure my query so that:

1. I have the name of an issue, and it could be part of a series, what fields should I include in the response to get this information?

Currently, my query is structured this way:

http://localhost:6050/api/comicbookinfo/search?format=json&query=Superman%20-%20Kal%20%281995%29.cbr&limit=10&offset=5&sort=name%3Aasc&resources=issue

My query params are:

format: json
query: Superman%20-%20Kal%20%281995%29.cbr
limit: 10
offset: 5
sort: name%3Aasc
resources: issue

My intention is to find out the series or a list of series that this issue is a part of.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

@limmie:

Let's say you're looking for an issue called Feynman.

Query:

https://comicvine.gamespot.com/api/search/?api_key= api_key&format=json&limit=1&offset=0&field_list=id,name,deck,volume&sort=name:asc&resources=issue&query=Feynman

Response:

{"error":"OK","limit":100,"offset":0,"number_of_page_results":1,"number_of_total_results":1,"status_code":1,"results":[{"deck":null,"id":344202,"name":"GN","volume":{"api_detail_url":"https:\/\/comicvine.gamespot.com\/api\/volume\/4050-50171\/","id":50171,"name":"Feynman","site_detail_url":"https:\/\/comicvine.gamespot.com\/feynman\/4050-50171\/"},"resource_type":"issue"}],"version":"1.0"}

So now you have an issue id 344202, and a volume id 50171. Let's get the volume's info.

Query:

https://comicvine.gamespot.com/api/volume/4050-50171/?api_key= api_key&format=json&limit=1&offset=0&field_list=id,name,deck,api_detail_url

Response:

{"error":"OK","limit":1,"offset":0,"number_of_page_results":1,"number_of_total_results":1,"status_code":1,"results":{"api_detail_url":"https:\/\/comicvine.gamespot.com\/api\/volume\/4050-50171\/","deck":"A comic biography of the physicist Richard Feynman, one of the smartest men of the past century.

I hope this helps.

Thanks so much @herrdoktorbd !
