Endpoint
POSThttps://proxy.suverse.io/v1/data/suverse-comics-xkcd-comic?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need structured metadata about a specific xkcd comic by number without rolling your own HTTP call to xkcd's JSON API. Ideal for agents that need to embed, cite, or discuss xkcd comics programmatically. Prefer this over scraping xkcd.com directly since it provides clean, structured JSON. The keyless backend means no API key management is required.
Side effects
- Invalid or out-of-range comic number returns an error or empty response
- Comic number 404 itself may cause ambiguity with HTTP 404 errors
- Network or upstream xkcd API unavailability causes failure
- Malformed request body missing required fields returns a validation error
- Payment failure (insufficient USDC balance) blocks the request
