Plugins Help

Is there anyone that would be willing to make a plugin to scrape a particular website for metadata info for a small fee?

grumbleskin · 03-26-2017, 03:53 AM

Has anyone ever made a plugin for RPGGeek.com or RPGNow.com or RPG.net plugins?

Or all three! I am sure there is a bunch of Roleplayers that would love this kind of thing...

What kind of metadata from those sites do you need

I am really sorry I haven't gotten back to you quicker. I have been really busy at work.

I was kind of thinking the following.

RPG.net
Title
Book Type
Genre
Setting
Series
Edition Info
System
Game Summary
Cover

RPGGeek
RPG
Series
Category
Lead Publisher
Year Published
Primary Name
Cover

I really like the RPG.net more, but I believe RPGGeek actually has an API. I am not sure though.

Thanks for looking. Please send me back some info. I will keep an eye on this thread.

Thanks!

If you search on each website for "The Rise of Tiamat" it will show you the layout of the information on its page. I don't know if that will help or not...

Anyone?

I found https://github.com/ErikLevin/calibre_rpggeek_plugin

But it gives very unclear directions on how to compile, for those of us who don't do such things... so I'm lost after getting terminal to instal it...

I now have errors when I do test, not sure how to proceed -- but since you were trying to do this, maybe we can find a solution...

------- calibre_rpggeek_plugin % calibre-customize -b .
calibre-debug -e test.py
zsh: command not found: calibre-customize
zsh: command not found: calibre-debug

By the way, I would not recommend that "plug-in" unless you can actually get it to work. The creator was very unhelpful and a bit rude when I asked for assistance.
