All calibre plugins are open sourced, so there is no need to reverse engineer them. X-Ray Creator uses Goodreads API to get data but Goodreads closed their API last year. If you really want to use this feature please try the above two methods. |
Thanks for the quick response. I’m going to try to disable Gatekeeper, at least for Calibre. I agree with you and Kovid that Apple’s restrictions are shitty (I jailbroke my iPhone for years). Also really shitty of Amazon to shut down Goodread’s API. Both of these seem like examples of corporations making needlessly restrictive choices against their user’s best interest because no one will hold their feet to the fire. I can run Linux through Parallels or Virtual Box or something, as I currently run Windows for work, but I’d rather not have to open up a whole virtual system every time I open Calibre, so hopefully the first option works. Thanks again and hopefully I can get this to work!
