README

Unfortunately, this project will remain unfinished. 😿

The Marvel Developer Portal has Sunset as of Wednesday, October 29, 2025. As such, we are no longer accepting new sign-ups for a Marvel Comics API key.

🦸 Marvel PHP SDK

Welcome to the Marvel PHP SDK, a lightweight and easy-to-use SDK designed to interact with the Marvel API, built on top of the robust Saloon library.

🚧 Progress

• Use enums for query parameters:
  • Comic:
    • OrderBy in query params
    • Format in query params and dto
    • FormatType in query params
  • Character
  • Events
  • Stories
  • Creators
  • Series
• Convert all dates to DateTime objects
• Tests
• Submit to Packagist

🚀 Getting Started

Installation

You can install the SDK via Composer:

composer require chronoarc/marvel

Usage

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$publicKey = 'your-public-key-here';
$privateKey = 'your-private-key-here';

$marvel = new  Chronoarc\Marvel\Marvel($publicKey, $privateKey);

$superhero = ['name' => 'Spider-Man (Peter Parker)', 'id' => 1009610];

$characters = $marvel->characters()->search(name: $superhero['name']);
$characters->dto(); // Chronoarc\Marvel\Dto\CharacterDataWrapper

$character = $marvel->characters()->getCharacter($superhero['id']);
$character->dto(); // Chronoarc\Marvel\Dto\CharacterDataWrapper

$characterSeries = $marvel->characters()->getCharacterSeries($superhero['id']);
$characterSeries->dto(); // Chronoarc\Marvel\Dto\SeriesDataWrapper

$characterComics = $marvel->characters()->getCharacterComics($superhero['id']);
$characterComics->dto(); // Chronoarc\Marvel\Dto\ComicDataWrapper

$characterEvents = $marvel->characters()->getCharacterEvents($superhero['id']);
$characterEvents->dto(); // Chronoarc\Marvel\Dto\EventDataWrapper

$characterStories = $marvel->characters()->getCharacterStories($superhero['id']);
$characterStories->dto(); // Chronoarc\Marvel\Dto\StoryDataWrapper

Advanced

Additionally, you can use the provided enums for query parameters:

use Chronoarc\Marvel\Enums\Comic\OrderBy;
use Chronoarc\Marvel\Enums\Comic\Format;

...

/** @var ComicDataWrapper $comics */
$comics = $this->connector->comics()->search(
  format: Format::comic,
  orderBy: [OrderBy::titleAsc],
)->dto();

Note: DTOs also have enums for their properties, so you can use them to access the data in a more predictable way.

ChronoArc

This SDK is made for ChronoArc, an app I am trying to build an app that lets you create reading guides, subscribe to already created guides, and track your progress towards reading a specific guide.

There's another SDK that uses Comicvine API, which is also part of the ChronoArc project. You can check it out at chronoarc/comicvine-sdk.
