Check getcomics.info for updates on a list of comics
Check getcomics for updates to your favorite series.
Background
Originally intended as a complete getcomics downloader, but due to a few problems it's not possible right now.
- Subscribe to regular issues
- Check subscribed comics for updates
# clone repo
git clone git@github.com:jneidel/getcomics-update.git
cd getcomics-update
# install dependencies
npm install
# initialize empty subscribe list
printf '[\n\n]' >comics.jsonThe file comics.json (path can be changed here) in the project
directory contains an array of array with the name of a series followed by the
last issue you've downloaded:
[
["Deadly Class", 44],
["Oblivion Song", 27],
["The Walking Dead Deluxe", 2]
]-
You can only subscribe to running issues, which take the
<title> #<issue_number> (<year>)format at getcomics. LikeDeadly Class #44 (2020) -
For the name, case as well as having the complete title, is important.
'deadly class'!='Deadly Class''Walking Dead'!='The Walking Dead'
Just copy the name directly from getcomics.
-
The missing tailing comma on the last entry is important (has to be valid JSON syntax).
Example:
You want to subscribe to the new Walking Dead Deluxe series. Looking at a sample
issue you
get the format:
The Walking Dead Deluxe #1 (2020) so add the following entry to your comics.json file:
["The Walking Dead Deluxe", 0]# in the repo
./bin/new.js
# you will get output like
New: The Walking Dead Deluxe #2 (2020) - https://getcomics.info/?s=The%20Walking%20Dead%20Deluxe%20%232%20(2020)
New: Fire Power #5 (2020) - https://getcomics.info/?s=Fire%20Power%20%235%20(2020)You can then download the new issues through the site (see backgroud fold for why I am not doing more).
You will have to manually upgrade the issue number you are on in comics.json.
