Yeah, searching just from the title has been rather inconsistent, for my weekly ads I've been having to put in an ID for a lot of them.
FYI, you can also use comicvine-volume:xxxxxx and it'll search for that volume field, useful if you've got several comics from the same series to sort in.

I did a few changes - allowed setting the request rate (comicvine API will kick you out if you do more than 1 request per second), and the maximum number of volumes to return (1 volume can have several issues) so that it will answer in a "normal" time.
The fork is in my github here, in case anyone wants to try it.
If you want to just add the ID, put it in the metadata ids field, in the format "comicvine:xxxxxx". The value can be obtained from the comicvine page for the issue you want, it's the six digits at the end of the URL. |
