# How it works

Metadata-only connector: index.ts instantiates the shared ShopifyStoreConnector adapter; everything source-specific lives in meta.json config: collections → taxonomy slug (with brand/franchise/series), title/tag rules (first match wins), an exclude regex for accessories/apparel/events, and the shop currency. Anything unmapped is skipped, never guessed.

Collections read (12): cgc → comics, psa → comics, all-graded-comics → comics, comics-black-white-color → comics, trading-card-singles → non_sport_cards, pokemon-tcg → pokemon, magic-the-gathering → magic_the_gathering, one-piece-card-game → one_piece_card_game, manga → manga, action-figures → action_figures, statues-busts → action_figures, coins → coins.

# Access & compliance

See accessNotes in meta.json (robots findings, endpoints, rate limit, what is not fetched). Host policy: connectors/domains.d/g4-shops-intl.json.

# Fixtures & tests

data/fixtures/kingscomics/*.json are live captures made with connectors/api/_g4-shops-intl-lib/capture.ts (trimmed payloads, expectations derived from the live record). index.test.ts runs the framework fixture suite, the g4 store invariants and a mapping unit test on titles observed live. Live probe: pnpm tsx connectors/api/_g4-shops-intl-lib/smoke.ts kingscomics.
