Amazon metadata download problems
Has Amazon set up a permanent block for Calibre metadata searches?
Today I tried to get metadata for a book. And while I got data from Fantastic Fiction I got nothing from Amazon. Which is a bit unusual. When I check the log it said: Quote:
Normally I just wait an hour or so and try again, but last night I just went to bed to try again today. But its 12 hours later now and I still have a captcha? Am I just on a long time out now? or what? |

Seems to be working for me. I added the book with author, title, Amazon ASIN and ISBN-13 to calibre and did a metadata fetch. Returned the correct book ebook edition.

Amazon is definitely more aggressive blocking lately. The details only amazon themselves can know.

Yeah I am still getting the Captcha error today. After my post yesterday I uncheck Amazon as a metadata source. Today when I turned it back on, my first search came back with the captcha error.
calibre.ebooks.metadata.sources.amazon.CaptchaErro r: Amazon returned a CAPTCHA page, probably because you downloaded too many books. Wait for some time and try again. So it has been well over 24 hours since I have been able to get anything from Amazon and I am still blocked. I wonder if they flagged my IP? In any case, usually GoodReads or FantasticFiction will return acceptable results, and I can always manually open up Amazon in a browser page if they don't. But its still annoying. |

What country are you in? Some form of geoblocking may be in effect.
Depening on your ISP, turning off modem for a few minutes and back on might give you new IP. Not if static IP (usually have to pay for those though) or a ISP-wide NAT though. Might also be worth checking if all computers on your network are all clean. Last edited by ownedbycats; 07-23-2025 at 01:35 PM. |

No longer block from Amazon searches.
Now whether they just had me blocked for a couple days, or my Dynamic IP changed from actions of my provider or unexpected modem resets, or something else, I don't know. BUT I will make an effort to pace myself when updating metadata. ![]() |

Well that did not last long. I have maybe done 1 or 2 Amazon searches a day since they unblocked me. Today I tried searching for metadata and got the Captcha error again. I have done no more than 4-5 searches in the last 3 days. I am wondering if they are just doing random Captchas now on searches.

Have not tried to do Amazon searches for more than a week.
Tried today and it allowed me to search. BUT did not find the book. Which I found on Amazon easily and using a Google search of Amazon also finds it. The book is: Guardian of the Dryads by Eric Vall mobi-asin:B0FLWPSDVV using: https://www.google.com/search?q=B0FL...zon.com&nfpr=1 finds it and its the only entry listed on the google search page. I don't know why it went through all this and could not find it. Also I don't know why it used Bing, Its not on the list of available search engines, and I don't use it personally on my computer. Its deleted from my search engines settings list. Code:

Perchance do you have Bing search cache selected in the configuration for Amazon metadata download?

It was on the 3rd one "Choose Server Automatically" which I guess let it choose the Bing Search randomly? I do recall seeing Google and DuckDuckGo before, but had not noticed Bing listed before.

Generally, I leave it on Amazon servers. I've found the various search selections generally don't return the best results.
