See urls.md.
The version number of this api is in package.json.
This project follows Semver
- Major version number changes - Existing API clients may be broken and should be updated
- Minor version number changes - No change necessary to existing clients
- Patch version number changes - No change necessary to existing clients
It was compiled by the fine folks at http://www.comichron.com/.
It's okay but it has a lot of caveats.
These numbers are estimates of issues sold to comic shops in North America. That means
- Digital sales are not included
- Sales outside of North America are not included
- Sales in book stores and at conventions are not included
- Trade paperback sales are not accounted for
- If a comic didn't sell enough to make the top ~300 for a given month, there is no data for it. So it looks like zero when it could have been a couple thousand.
- Issues that come out early in the month will have better by-month numbers than issues coming out later in the month.
For more discussion listen to Off Panel podcast episode 124 and read the Comichron FAQ.
The by-issue data for that comic will be weird.
