I have a subscription to The Economist, which gives me access to historical print issues.

I wanted to create a customized recipe based on the built-in recipe that would allow me to pass a specific date format to the INDEX in order to generate the correct url to retrieve the older issues.

I know the URL I need to set INDEX to, but what I'm struggling with is whether there is a way to get calibre to prompt me for the specific date I'm interested in. I looked at the NY Times recipe because it has a login section, but I'm still trying to figure out how to accomplish this.

Can anyone help? I'm still learning how to customize recipes.

Thanks in advance.
