Calibre 3.20: no metadata download from amazon
It seems that metadata download from amazon is broken.
I suspect Amazon has changed somethcos Calibre 3.18 also gives no results. My plugin is configured for Amazon.com site Germany and download from Amazon servers. Example for an output shows that data is found but not downloaded. Also seems that authors value is not taken for the query even if the field is filled in calibre metadata dialog: Running identify query with parameters: {u'title': u'Nebelbr\xfccke', u'timeout': 30, u'identifiers': {}, u'authors': [u'Bomm, Manfred']} Using plugins: Google (1, 0, 0), Amazon.com (1, 2, 0) The log from individual plugins is below ****************************** Amazon.com (1, 2, 0) ****************************** Found 0 results Downloading from Amazon.com took 3.97699999809 User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704 Safari/537.36 Server: amazon Getting details from: https://www.amazon.de/Nebelbr%C3%BCc...1905882&sr=1-1 Could not find title/authors/asin for 'https://www.amazon.de/Nebelbr%C3%BCcke-achtzehnte-H%C3%A4berle-Kriminalromane-GMEINER-Verlag/dp/3839222397/ref=sr_1_1/260-0608862-7896637?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1521905882&sr=1-1' ASIN: u'3839222397' Title: u'Nebelbr\xfccke: Der achtzehnte Fall f\xfcr August H\xe4berle (Kriminalromane im GMEINER-Verlag)' Authors: [] Thx in advance Martin |

I found changing the download server to Bing search cache helped. Preferences => Metadata Download = Amazon =>Configure selected source.

Hi DNSB,
thx for advice. I already tried all different server configurations. They give slightly different results looking at the log but as a final result no real link to Amazon results (the hyperlinks to the found sources). Maybe it has to do something with the special book, but with another one I have similar problems. Sometimes the log shows the right Amazon ASIN but nevertheless it doesn't download and provides the data...mysterious for me Martin |

I have the same problem with version 3.20.
Changing to the Bing server helps for a few books. But most of them can‘t download the data from Amazon. |

It's quite possible that amazon.de changed their markup. Post the ASIN for a few books that dont work and I will take a look when I have a moment.

This coming from amazon.com (it happens with all the books I've tested):
Spoiler:
In this case, the book is Finding Answers by Kathi Daley, but the same has happened by other book I had open in Firefox. The first error has been with amazon as server and the second one with server selected automatically and it happens again if I use Google cache as server. |

And this is the error when I've added the ASIN and the server is Amazon:
Spoiler:
BTW, the link opens the book page. |

Works for me with that ASIN. Looking at the log, for some reason the google URLs seem to be based on google translate? Is google redirecting all your requests to google translate? Try using either amazon or bing as the server isntead.

That does indeed show a markup change. https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...46381420b10f76
