[GUI Plugin] Goodreads Sync

Hey guys, I'm also having the issue with the 202 response.

This sucks. I just finally got everything set up and working great, then they break the API.

According to Google's AI response, you can solve AWS WAF challenges using a headless browser, but I haven't actually verified this myself, and I'm not sure how feasible it would be.

Here's the AI example code:

import asyncio
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
from playwright_stealth import stealth_async

async def solve_aws_challenge():
    async with async_playwright() as p:
        # Launch browser with custom arguments to appear human
        browser = await p.chromium.launch(headless=True)
        context = await browser.new_context(
            user_agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
        )
        page = await context.new_page()
        
        # Apply stealth to mask automation signatures
        await stealth_async(page)
        
        # Navigate to the protected page; wait for the WAF script to execute
        print("Navigating and solving background JS challenge...")
        await page.goto("https://your-protected-website.com", wait_until="networkidle")
        
        # Retrieve the generated cookie
        cookies = await context.cookies()
        waf_token = next((c['value'] for c in cookies if c['name'] == 'aws-waf-token'), None)
        
        if waf_token:
            print(f"Success! Found token: {waf_token}")
            # Use this token in standard HTTP libraries like requests or httpx
        else:
            print("Challenge failed or interactive CAPTCHA required.")
            
        await browser.close()

asyncio.run(solve_aws_challenge())
