Really beyond the concept of pure python scripting as done in Calibre recipes, but very complex web client-server interactions can be handled by the 'deno' tool. The excellent product 'yt-dlp' recently adopted it to deal with massive complexity on YouTube. Works great, but there's still an ongoing cat-and-mouse aspect to reverse engineering here, which our maintainer is clearly annoyed by. IF interested, an Example

Many Mods are volunteers. We check messages when we have a chance.
Forum levels (like myself), only get notices by specific PM. To whome did you send the request?
The Greenies all get notices when 'report this post' is used (when needed rapid action)
