This add-on works fine on browser context menu:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir.../ask-deepseek/

Where are you trying to put that URL? In any event, I suspect that because it is interpreted by firefox, the only way it **might** work is if firefox is the system default browser. WHen I try it with Chrome as the default I get an invitation to switch to Firefox.

I edited my previous post to mention the add-on code and its AMO page to install it on mozilla based browsers.

Let me try to clarify: I don't see how to get a direct url to open a chat.deepseek.com query, as that add-on can do so seamlessly from selected text on any webpage.

If it was possible to find an endpoint (I think that's what devs call it), one could create a custom column to query {title} by {author} on Deepseek in order to get some blurb, or other inquiries about the title and author, via book details click

I took a quick look at the API. It appears that you could do it by constructing POST queries and be prepared to get JSON responses, which isn't something doable with a single URL. It requires code.

Yes, thanks for looking. Anyway, just a random idea, and this could be possible also with the Search Internet plugin if there was some direct api access... I examined the requests and it's clear it isnt doable with a single url

Was this made on a request or "just seemed like a good idea"?

Are you talking to me? About the custom column search URL? If so then on request: https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/2097591

Ahh. I was wondering,

program: make_url('https://chatgpt.com', 'q', $title  & ' ' & $author)

On the other hand it was easy peasy to have a clickable book details search for the much enshittificated chatgpt.

program: make_url('https://phind.com/search', 'q', $title  & ' by ' & $author)

https://www.phind.com/search?q=The+P...B2+Machiavelli

I've found Phind to be a much better alternative for this purpose, so I changed my template.
