Describe the feature/enhancement

user story

as a user (myself) that purchases books through https://libro.fm (to support my local bookseller), I would like to have a workflow to automatically (or at least painlessly) download the item to my audiobookshelf instance with the cover art, description, isbn, etc.

current workflow

I must (per book):

  • sit at a computer
  • log in to libro.fm
  • click to the library (about 3-5 mouse clicks)
  • download each book (usually 2 *.zip files with individual chapter *.mp3's)
  • extract the mp3's to a folder name
  • copy to the folder that audiobookshelf uses and "scan" (or import folder through my audiobookshelf instance)
  • then fix all the metadata by reviewing the book info on libro.fm

Caveat

Libro.fm does not currently have an API access. So fetching a user's library, item, and book metadata is not currently a feature, but this is aspirational. And I've reached out to their "contact us" expressing this interest.

My first thought is that this is outside of the scope of Abs. There are some open feature requests related to this though:

You mention that you are manually scanning the library. Is there a reason you are not able to use the watcher that would automatically scan in the new book?

There are some open feature requests related to this though: - Auto quick match books when they are scanned in https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/1490 (will likely implement) - Webhook support https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/1857 (will implement) - Rename folder structure based on book metadata https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/issues/312 (unsure) - Scanner unzipping files https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/discussions/954 (unsure) You mention that you are manually scanning the library.

good references of enhancements that would help that process out a lot!

As for the watcher, I'll have to investigate that functionality.

FWIW, I checked the Libro.fm Android app (v7.6.1, build: 194) to figure out the endpoints of their private API. The three essential calls are:

If someone stumbles on this thread again, I found a repo which might be useful for the self hosters out there.

Im going to try it out, but from my initial testing it could help you setup an automated workflow for importing your purchased books.
