Thanks Kovidgoyal! Your solution works.

I worked a bit on the recipe and managed to have a parser giving some results on my own python kernel. It is not straightforward since the website is sending the "finish loading" signal before the javascript is loaded and not after.

I designed a function that wait until some given elements are found into the pages before running further. This cannot be done with

Code:

time.sleep()

since the webpage becomes unresponsive and the page is not loading anymore. So it seems to work if I use

Code:

from PyQt5 import QtTest
QtTest.QTest.qWait(XXX)

I basically loop over QTest until I find specific keys in the html of the page.

But QTest is not part of the modules one can import in Calibre...
Any idea how to go around that? I could not make QTimer works since the code outside of the timer continues to run: QTimer seems to open a new thread when running the code.
