This plugin allows the download of metadata for Comicbooks from the
Comicvine database. It was originally developed by
chewt0y and is now maintained by me,
jbernardo
Check out the code on
Github - and feel free to open issues if needed.
Main Features of Comicvine metadata plugin
Downloads comics metadata from Comicvine, either by searching for the title or directly accessing the comicvine identifier.
Special Notes:- Requires Calibre V6 or later
- For previous Calibre versions, check Github and chewt0y's thread
- Important - you'll need a Comicvine api_key, or you'll be subject to extreme throttling by Comicvine, as everyone will be using the same key.
Command Line Interface(CLI)
Starting with calibre v0.9.23, calibre offers a command-line interface (CLI) for calling plugins.
This plugin supports that option and allows the user to call the plugin's basic functionality from outside calibre without having to install Python or get the plugin's files separately.
