Build with VerseDB

A comic book database designed to plug into your stack. Query our API, drop the bot into your Discord, and ship more with less work.

Developer API

A comic book database, built for developers.

The same data powering VerseDB.com: over 1M issues, 150k series, 168k characters, and 86k creators, all accessible through a clean, documented REST API.

  • Clean REST API
    Predictable JSON endpoints with paginated results and consistent response shapes.
  • Simple token auth
    Create an API token in your account settings and send it as a Bearer header. That's it.
  • Docs you can import
    Interactive documentation plus a Postman collection and OpenAPI spec ready for any tool you already use.
  • Everything, cross-linked
    Series, issues, variants, creators, characters, story arcs, events, and publishers, all connected by stable IDs.
