I have been loving the comic vine scraper script. It's awesome. However, after using it extensively for a few days with no problem, I ran into a bug this morning. Here's the log:

I uninstalled and reinstalled twice with no improvement. Has anyone encountered this? Is there system maintenance going on at comicvine?

Thanks for the wonderful script, and thanks for the help!

This is likely going on for everyone. Think CV might have changed something in their API.
The .24 for version is odd. I'm getting that as well and using .25

Hmm... I'm sure cbanack will ask you this, but does this happen on every comic or just a specific issue/series?

I just tried to scrape some items and it did it without problems, so it might be specific issue on some series.

fK

It's working fine again. Was just a slight hicup on CV's end of thing I think. Some problem with their API, might have gone down for a couple hours.

The bug report log producing the wrong version is oddish still, possible bug in itself

Scrapper is working again as intended
