Steps a workflow can run in xkcd.

  • Get the latest comicGet the comic currently on xkcd's front page, with its title, hover text, image and publication date.
  • Get a comicGet one comic by its number: the number in its address, so https://xkcd.com/614/ is comic 614. Returns the title, hover text, transcript, image and publication date.
  • Get a random comicGet a comic at random, picked by xkcd's own Random link, with its title, hover text and image.
  • List comicsList comics by number, newest first, a page at a time. Leave the range blank for the most recent comics, or set it to walk a stretch of the archive.
  • List comics by dateList the comics published between two dates, newest first: for a monthly digest, a year in review, or finding the comic that ran on a particular day.
  • Search comicsFind the comics whose title, hover text or transcript contains some text. Searching titles covers every comic ever published; searching the hover text or transcript opens comics one at a time, so narrow it with a number or date range.
  • Get new comics sinceGet the comics published since a comic number or a date: the check to run on a schedule. Pass the latest comic number the last run reported, and this returns only what has appeared since.
  • Download comic imageDownload a comic's picture as a file, so a later step can attach it to an email, post it to a chat or put it in storage. Use this wherever a link will not do and the picture itself has to travel with the message.
