Recognize and Identify Comic Books in Detail With AI

The newest addition to our portfolio of solutions is the Comics Identification (/v2/comics_id). This service is designed to identify comics from images. While it’s still in the early stages, we are actively refining and enhancing its capabilities.

The API detects the largest comic book in an image, and provides key information such as the title, issue number, release date, publisher, origin date, and creator’s name, making it ideal for identifying comic books, magazines, as well as manga.

Comics Identification by Ximilar provides the title, issue number, release date, publisher, origin date, and creator’s name.

This tool is perfect for organizing and cataloging large comic collections, offering accurate identification and automation of metadata extraction. Whether you’re managing a digital archive or cataloging physical collections, the Comics Identification API streamlines the process by quickly delivering essential details. We’re committed to continuously improving this service to meet the evolving needs of comic identification.

Star Wars Unlimited, Digimon, Dragon Ball, and More Can Now Be Recognized by Our System

Our trading card identification system has already been widely used to accurately recognize and provide detailed information on cards from games like Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Flesh and Blood, MetaZoo, and Lorcana.

Recently, we’ve expanded the system to include cards from Garbage Pail Kids, Star Wars Unlimited, Digimon, Dragon Ball Super, Weiss Schwarz, and Union Arena. And we’re continually adding new games based on demand. For the full and up-to-date list of recognized games, check out our API documentation.

Ximilar keeps adding new games to the trading card game recognition system. It can easily be deployed via API and controlled in our App.

Detect and Identify Both Trading Cards and Their Slab Labels

The new endpoint slab_grade processes your list of image records to detect and identify cards and slab labels. It utilizes advanced image recognition to return detailed results, including the location of detected items and analyzed features.

The Slab Label object provides essential information, such as the company or category (e.g., BECKETT, CGC, PSA, SGC, MANA, ACE, TAG, Other), the card’s grade, and the side of the slab. This endpoint enhances our capability to categorize and assess trading cards with greater precision. In our App, you will find it under Collectibles Recognition: Slab Reading & Identification.
