# Kings Comics connector (`kingscomics`)

- Source: https://kingscomics.com · Sydney pop-culture store (since 1988): CGC/PSA graded comics and cards, new and back-issue comics (Marvel, DC, Image…), manga, trading-card singles (vintage NBA), action figures, statues, Perth Mint coins. Titles are upper-case; tags carry the publisher and REL-YYYYMMDD release dates.
- Country/currency: AU / AUD · type: dealer · engine: api (Shopify storefront products.json (public JSON))
- Records: `listing` only (dealer asking prices; never sales — SPEC §111). One listing per variant (condition / size / finish), out-of-stock variants kept as `ended`.
- Refresh: every 24 h (NORMAL class) · historical depth: none (no sold archive).

## 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`.
