[Feature Request] Add Babelio as a metadata source

Open achlyss-8 opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your work on this project! I am a French user of Calibre, and in France, Babelio is the best source for high-quality book metadata in French. Unfortunately, Babelio does not provide an official API (to my knowledge).

However, a community-developed Calibre plugin currently exists that successfully retrieves metadata from Babelio

Would it be possible to add Babelio as an additional metadata source? That's what I need to switch from Calibre to BookLore.

Thank you in advance!

You’re right, since Babelio doesn’t have an official API, I assume the Calibre plugin works via HTML scraping. If that’s the case, you’re welcome (or anyone in the community is!) to contribute a Babelio parser to BookLore.

You can add it here: Babelio parser location

I’d be happy to review and help with integration. Thanks!

Closing this since it’s not in scope, sorry!
