Fetching novel Chapters for fictionzone.net
The new update on the site fictionzone.net break the fetching of the chapters. When i tried to download a novel it is now cut of the the first page which is only up to 100 chapter.
@Franzeeee Until I get around to fixing this, you can manually select each range of 100 pages, open WebToEpub to get a set of 100 chapter links and then use the "Copy URLs to Clipboard" to build up a full list of chapters to fetch.
My notes, for how to get list of chapters.
Need to make POST call to https://fictionzone.net/api/__api_party/api-v1, with JSON package like
{
"path":"/chapter/all/102062",
"query":{"page":2},
"headers":{"content-type":"application/json"},
"method":"get"
}
This will return 100 links. Need to increase "page" for each batch of 100.
To get the value in path, need to call same URL with JSON package
{"path":"/novel/the-saint-s-fiancee-cheated-on-her-let-s-face-it-both-of-them-must-die",
"headers":{"content-type":"application/json"},
"method":"get"
}
(Note this is for ToC page https://fictionzone.net/novel/the-saint-s-fiancee-cheated-on-her-let-s-face-it-both-of-them-must-die
Can i push the update i made on the parser? I fixed it on my side with just little code.
@Franzeeee
Can i push the update i made on the parser?
Yes you can. That's kind of the point of GitHub. I'm not sure why you're even asking me.

Version 1.0.3.0 is perfectly working now for fictionzone.net , latest one is not even fetching 100 chapters
@Legendoras @Franzeeee i don't have this problem i have recorded what i did:
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/934126ed-2d0f-4dbb-a385-cedc54770205
I didn't download all Chapter because i didn't want to wait this long.
Do you have set Max web pages to fetch simultaneously to 1 Manual Throttle|Delay per chapter to default or 3 sec
I actually forgot to close this, but when I tried to use the latest ver. they alrdy fixed it. Though I recreated the code for the scrapper on this one and used it on mine.
Actually Fiictionzone problem is fixed in the last 3 week ago update 1.0.4 but the site is unstable and get weird updates which can cause problems there is no problem when downloading chapter but the problem was with opening it , it doesn't get parse at all or broken or corrupt I was using 1.0.3.0 version for now which works perfectly no problem and I use overwrite the min throttle so it's doesn't take much time to download novels @gamebeaker
@Legendoras my thoughts are that maybe the server recognizes that you are making too many requests and shadow bans you. What do i mean with shadow ban? The server doesn't response with an error message. Instead the server sends an empty page to you and WebToEpub doesn't realize that this isn't the correct content. I don't know if fictionzone does that but i have seen this behaviour. Can you please upload an broken epub here: https://nx39171.your-storageshare.de/s/FMdradcMYAHLydP maybe i can figure out what happens.
Ok I have uploaded @gamebeaker , when the new update came them i downloaded 1000 chapter I can't download all because my phone can't handle that much of pressure of downloading all and start getting slower after 3 weeks i done listening all 1000 chapter so I tried downloading remaining chapter then this thing happen
@Legendoras The file is named "My_Battleship_Can_Upgrade.epub (1)" it should be "My_Battleship_Can_Upgrade (1).epub" my viewer can view it if i use calibre. Does a simple rename solve your problem?
It's showing txt icon now when rename like other epub but before it's showing other format icon but still it's not opening but it's ok upi can close this issue now as 1.0.3.0 is working perfectly for me so I don't need to change anything now but still thanks for help @gamebeaker
