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.

One database. Many surfaces.

Whether you're building software or running a community, VerseDB meets you where you already work.

Developer API

A comic book database, built for developers.

The same data powering VerseDB.com: over 1M issues, 150k series, 165k characters, and 85k 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.
