Martian querystring modifier to authenticate against the Marvel Comics API

Marvel API martian querystring modifier

This package is a martian modifier for authentication against the Marvel comics API.

The procedure extracted from the Marvel API documentation: https://developer.marvel.com/documentation/authorization

Authentication for Server-Side Applications
Server-side applications must pass two parameters in addition to the apikey parameter:
ts - a timestamp (or other long string which can change on a request-by-request basis)
hash - a md5 digest of the ts parameter, your private key and your public key (e.g. md5(ts+privateKey+publicKey)
For example, a user with a public key of "1234" and a private key of "abcd" could construct a valid call as follows: http://gateway.marvel.com/v1/public/comics?ts=1&apikey=1234&hash=ffd275c5130566a2916217b101f26150 (the hash value is the md5 digest of 1abcd1234)
