Evrit is a metadata source plugin for Calibre that automatically retrieves book metadata and high-resolution cover images from the Israeli e-book store Evrit (עברית).

This is an updated maintenance release (v2.0.0). The plugin was originally created by HebrewReader (see original discussion: thread #351377). Following a complete redesign and platform migration of the e-vrit website to Next.js, the legacy ASP.NET endpoints stopped working (HTTP 404). This version completely rewrites the integration to restore full functionality.

Main Features:

• Retrieves Title, Authors, Publisher, Published Date, Comments/Synopsis, Tags/Genres, Series, and Ratings.
• High-resolution cover images (up to 1200px) directly from Cloudflare CDN.
• Hebrew phonetic normalization: handles Ktiv Haser / Male ('אהוי'), punctuation variations (geresh, gershayim, colons, hyphens), and LRM Unicode marks.
• Sets the Calibre identifier to evrit:<id> (displays as "עברית" in book details).

Version History:

Spoiler:

• 2.0.1 Dynamic Guest Cart Session: Generates a fresh client UUID (uuid4) per session to prevent shared static cookies across different users and installations.
  
• 2.0.0 (2026-09-15): Major update. Full rewrite for the new Next.js website. Added support for /api/search with browser WAF headers, Schema.org JSON-LD parsing, session cookies for extended details (including publish date), and 1200px cover downloads.
• 1.0.0 – 1.4.0 (2023): Original releases by HebrewReader.
