Project Expectations

• Client library to get new releases, or releases for a given date.
• Client can filter by the format of releases e.g. 'single-issue' or by publisher e.g. 'marvel'
• Client should be straight forward and easy to use by using the KISS model (Keep It Simple Stupid)
• Cache results where possible as not to hit provider with too many requests for the same data

Deployment

To deploy, one must obtain an API key from the public pypi (https://pypi.org/project/comicbot-api/) and add it to the local poetry configuration with the following command:

poetry config pypi-token.pypi <pypi-token>

Once we have a valid token, we can push distributions to PyPi.

or do both with
