03 - Comicvine Scraper

After TPBs and DCs are scraped, I continue with my regular scraping.
This is done with four different lists.

Folder Structure


3.1 ComicVine Scraper – 0Day

Download smart list: 3.1 ComicVine Scraper 0Day.cbl

This list checks for all comics added in the last 1 day.
Sometimes when I get new comics, especially physical ones (mentioned in Introduction), I won’t scrape them right away. But if I then add a new digital comic, I want to find it quickly.

The 0Day Scraper list should be seen as comics to scrape immediately.

3.2 ComicVine Scrapper All

Download smart list: 3.2 ComicVine Scraper All.cbl

This list is for my backlog of comics.
I use it whenever I have time to scrape older digital comics or catch up on scraping my physical comics.

3.3 Process Skipped

Download smart list: 3.3 Process Skipped.cbl

When scraping comics in either of the two previous lists, you can hold CTRL and press Skip.
This adds CVDBSKIP to the notes field, and the comic will appear here to be scraped later.

3.4 ComicVine Scrapper rescrape

Download smart list: 3.4 ComicVine Scraper rescrape.cbl

This list contains comics that were scraped incorrectly.
They are comics without a comicvine_issue field, but where the notes still contain CVDB, meaning they weren’t scraped properly.
