No, it should show XX instead of 00 as the number of weeks to indicates that it cannot be determined.

If you let me know the library and books involved I can check into it further.


Added: A job log from an availability check for one or more of those books would also be helpful.

Sorry for the false alarm - when I ran it again it updated to XX, so maybe I inadvertently ran the search job instead of the availability check? Thanks for taking the time to respond...

Thanks for the plugin--we use it almost every day!

I've been noticing lately that Axis360 searches have been failing, with the error:

HTTPError (Not Found)

An example of an (active) Axis360 library I have been using is https://sfpl.axis360.baker-taylor.com/

Getting this same Server response error (missing "span id=s-result-count" error when searching both Amazon Prime Reading and Kindle Unlimited. Interesting that if I search for just the Hiaasen book it still does not find the book but it does not get the error message either.

Amazon has made some significant changes to the HTML markup of their search results. It will take me awhile to update the plugin to deal with this.

Version 2.31.0 - 22 Jan 2019

Handle website change at Amazon. (Fixes "Server response error (missing "span id=s-result-count")")

Thanks for the quick fix on this.

I have several hundred books that I want to bump against Amazon to see if they are available on Prime or Kindle unlimited. With this big a request I am constantly running up against Amazon's throttling. Even if I go to the trouble of submitting subsets as smaller requests it totes up all recent requests and throttles the job. Any ideas on how to make this work easier?

Here is an article I found on Amazon API throttling:

That API does not apply here. Although it does give some idea of how few requests for data Amazon allows per unit of time before throttling.

One suggestion is to do them in small groups until you are blocked and then wait until the next day to do more.

Another is to use a VPN to have your requests go to Amazon from a different IP address. When you are blocked then disconnect and reconnect the VPN to try to get a different IP address. Some VPNs allow you to select the city/country from which the IP will be assigned. You could vary that each time.

FWIW that may have fixed some other issues as well. I ran a search job and got some URL warnings, where in each case it looks like it did a retry that then worked. I installed the latest Calibre and updated the plugin, then the same search ran with no warnings...

BTW, would anyone know of a reason why all 7 of my libraries have the latest Louise Penny Kingdom of the Blind in audiobook but none have the ebook, even to recommend?

Thanks...

Because they are lame libraries?

You can search for libraries that carry it here:

https://www.overdrive.com/media/3779...m-of-the-blind

(Every library near me and all of the major ones that allow outsiders to obtain non-resident cards carry it.)

Thanks - they actually do have it so I must have something wrong in my config. But when I searched for the latest Expanse book it found 3 plus 3 rocommendable, so I'm not sure what could be different about the Penny book.
