NEW ComicVine API Key Requirement
Posted: Mon Jun 09, 2014 8:07 am
Recent changes to the ComicVine (CV) API have resulted in limits on the number of API calls that can be done. As it stands now, users can only perform 200 API hits / 15 minutes PER API key.
What this means basically is that every user NEEDS to have their own CV API Key in order to be able to use Mylar properly. If you don't supply Mylar with a CV API Key, it will default back to the 'generic' one, and you will end up getting errors / blank series on refreshes, adds, etc since the one API key is shared amongst everyone who uses Mylar.
If this changes I'll update - but as it stands, getting your own CV API Key is almost a necessity at this point in time due to the watchlist monitoring / refreshing of series.
