Marvel's new application programming interface will could change how comic book fans interact with the company.
Comic book fans are about to get a more interactive experience.
Marvel Entertainment has announced the Marvel Comics API, Marvel’s new application programming interface (API), which gives developers access to portions of Marvel’s comic data for use in their personal, non-commercial websites and applications.
Starting Friday, Jan. 31, the beta version of the Marvel Comics API will become available on the new Developer Portal, as well as on Marvel.com. It's the first API program by any major comic book publisher and provides an innovative way for fans to interact with Marvel Entertainment and Marvel’s digital content.

From the Marvel Press Release:
The Marvel Comics API is a set of web services that give fans access to Marvel's rich repository of data about over 30,000 comics and 7,000 series. The API lets fans access information from Marvel’s 75-year publishing history, including cover art, characters and comic book crossover events.
Developers will now have the opportunity to create personal applications and websites that express their individual appreciation and experiences with Marvel Comics. From feeds on blogs to mini-applications, developers everywhere can use the Marvel Comics API to create compelling digital experiences using Marvel’s treasure trove of data.
Peter Olson, VP of Web & Application Development says, “Our API program is a cool new way to explore and interact with Marvel Comics. Unlike lists of books, movies, or news articles, our comics are an inter-connected web (no Spidey pun intended!) of data spanning 75 years. It's the relationships between them that are fascinating. Everything is connected and continues to expand as more comics are released each week. With our API program, once again, Marvel is changing the comics and publishing technology landscape."

Developers can create accounts, access the API, test drive queries in interactive forms, read documentation and ask questions at Marvel’s new Developer Portal at developer.marvel.com. The Marvel Comics API provides a deep look into the underlying data of the Marvel Universe - it's another way Marvel Comics is making the Marvel Universe "Your Universe".
