Getting Started with the VerseDB API

What it is

The VerseDB API allows developers and users to access comic-related data and interact with features like Collections, Wishlists, and Pull Lists — all through a modern RESTful interface.

You can use it to build personal tools, integrations, or just automate your own data management.

Where to find full API documentation

The full interactive API docs are here:

This includes all current endpoints, methods, payloads, and example responses.

Who can use the API

Anyone with a VerseDB account can generate an API token and start using the API.

There are two user tiers:

• Free Users: Access most endpoints, but with stricter rate limits
