[Metadata Source Plugin] Hardcover

Grabs metadata from Hardcover

This was originally created to support another project I have, linking Calibre-Web, Kobo and Hardcover

NOTE: Requires a Hardcover account and API Key configuring in settings before use. This can be copied from here after logging in

Main Features
  • Can retrieve title, author, comments, publisher, publication date, series, ratings and tags.
  • Fetches the cover image from hardcover.
  • The identifier used is "hardcover". It will show in the details as "Hardcover".
  • Another identifier "hardcover-edition" is also set to identify the edition that has been used under a book
  • Attempts to search by identifiers before doing a freetext search (see here for examples)
    1. hardcover-edition
    2. hardcover (slug e.g. the-hobbit)
    3. isbn / mobi-asin

Installation Notes:
  • Download the attached zip file and install the plugin as described in the Introduction to plugins thread.
  • Note that this is not a GUI plugin so it is not intended/cannot be added to context menus/toolbars etc.

Source Code
The plugin code is open source and available on GitHub
