Can I download IDs in order to make links to you?
« on: April 14, 2016, 10:25:05 PM »

I have a data table with a few information fields - publisher, title, issue, genre. In it there are about 48000 records, each representing a comic book published in the US before 1960. I would like to add a field for the dlid of the scan, if it exists at comicbookplus.com. The reason I ask is that the data table drives an informational webUI and I would like to allow a user who finds an issue to also have a handy link to the scan page at comicbookplus.com. I see a thread from about 8 years ago in the forums about having comics.org link to your pages in this manner, but obviously that never manifested in the GCD web interface.

Is there a way to obtain a list of dlid without having to manually inspect the comicbookplus.com URL for all 29292 scans?

I have enough information on my own on how to make the correlation from your ID to comics I know of for my data table. I would prefer to link to each scan page directly. But there are lesser alternatives where maybe my year page (for example) January 1942 could link to https://comicbookplus.com/?cbplus=yns_4201_0 which shows 50 or so scans. Those are scans for about half of the 100 comics I know about from that month.

Thanks
