[GrandComicsDatabase/gcd-django] API Retrieve comic cover (Discussion #739)
strauzen
Hi,
It would be quite useful if the comic cover could be retrieved via API calls (as well as alternative covers) as for automatic comicbook metadata retrieval one of the checks that is usually done is validating of the covers match with a certain level of confidence.

Oof, that's a really inefficient way to match comics. A much better solution is to provide a cover hash like was suggested in #615.

That does sound like a nicer approach depending on the type of hash used and how it accounts for cover variations.
Sadly that doesn't work for other sources I use for metadata of European comics so the image comparison would still be required (and it's already implemented) for my use cases.
But if we have a nice hashed based solution for the covers that can account for layout changes then it could also do the job and my request would be supperceeded 🙂
An example of layout changes a hash can't account for but image comparison can are the covers of Asterix trench editions over the years. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'd love to improve my solution!

Are those the Mad Cave / Papercutz editions? And are indexed at GCD?

No, I was referring to other usecases not related to GCD.
For Asterix I collect the comics and metadata in French. But I can imagine encountering similar situations with variations innGCD. I haven't dug enough into English comics yet to have a concrete example atm.

The API path to a cover will be via the issue. We won't provide direct access to covers in bulk.

I don't think that he was asking for direct access to the covers in bulk thru an endpoint, or at least I hope he wasn't.
Most tagger software does a search by name, and then from that list they download each cover for the issues and does a comparison of cover hashes hamming distances to determine which one is correct. That's why we provide the cover hash in our issue list response, so they aren't downloading the issue covers needlessly.

No indeed, not in bulk, you go issue by issue and retrieve the cover.
