[Metadata Source Plugin] Skoob Books
Plugin to download metadata and covers from www.skoob.com.br. Skoob is a brazilian website similar to Goodreads, so almost all of its contents is in pt_BR. For that reason this plugin will be of most use for books in Portuguese.
This plugin was originally based on B&N plugin. It was first developed by @rodrigoccurvo. From 2019, it has been maintained by @thiago.eec. Main Features
Requirements:
Installation Notes:
Latest calibre version tested: 7.5.1 Version History Spoiler:

Hi, @alexantao.
Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, this is a one way street. This is a metadata plugin. With it, calibre can fetch info from Skoob, but Skoob can't access calibre library. To sync with Skoob, it would be necessary another kind of plugin, like 'Goodread Sync', for example. |

Hi Thiago,
I understand that the plugin takes only the information about the book, but is there a way for it to retrieve information about the user's details about the books ? All information about the books I read are stored on Skoob. I'd like to get, for example, the day I finished the book, or the review I wrote for it too. Is it possible ? |

Not with this plugin. Actually, all metadata plugins can only write to calibre standard fields. To retrieve such information, you would need to store it on custom columns, which can't be done using a metadata plugin.
When I have some time, I'll try to take a look on Goodread Sync plugin and see if I could adapt it to use Skoob. No promises, though. |

Someone else has just written another that gets more tags from the Goodreads shelf than the main Goodreads metadata source plugin. Quote:

I will give it a try on the weekend. Skoob does not have an API (not one documented, anyway), so this could restrict some desired features. |

Please take a look at the plugin attached. I've been using it for a week now and have tested it to exhaustion, but you never know... there might be something buggy yet. Also, see if it has everything you wished for. I based it on my day-to-day use of Skoob. |

Could not test too much. My calibre crashes averytime I click on Skoob Plugin Icon...
Also, is there a way to get all Skoob ID books for those I selected ? A lot of them does not have, but I know it has it's ID on Skoob. Some of them could not be found, even if they are there.... |

I've made various corrections and additions to that first version I sent here. Check out the latest version on the Skoob Sync plugin thread. Maybe the problem is already fixed. About it crashing... How many books did you select? I set the limit to 50 books, which works nicely on my system, but maybe that's a little high for some machines. That's because every book is handled on a separate thread, making it a lot faster to update, since it is processed in parallel. But, it also requires more of your CPU, RAM and Network Bandwidth.

Also, using Skoob Books, you can select multiples books and download metadata for it. If you are interested on getting just the Skoob ID, you could just clear all the checkboxes (fields to download) on the Metadata Download configuration dialog. That way, it will get only the Skoob ID (and the ISBN). |
