Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I have a tool I use to import books into audiobookshelf, I would like to be able to manually assign them to my series an existing series or create new series and assign multiple books to via the api. I do not see a way to presently do this with current docs/tools.

Why would this be helpful?

This would allow my tool to fill in missing audiobooks for users in their series with one click, and not require multiple interfaces/ matching of books via abs match with selective library editing, etc.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

This is an api change I can't provide a screenshot.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.32.1

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

This is an api enhancement not concerning the webserver but the backend api.

Everything the client does is possible with the API.

Please see the network logs of your browser. The API docs are outdated

It appears everything is done via a network socket now and is not readable for me at least. Am I missing something?

No. Websockets is mostly/exclusively for transmitting changes such as progress updates.
It receives the changes. No changes are done via it.

The API is a normal REST api
