Help with Standard Ebooks feed

[PiperKev]

Hi!

I'm pretty unskilled when it comes to coding, so I'd like to ask for some help. To access the Atom feed for Standard Ebooks, I have to authenticate with my email address. The format it uses is "email@domain@http://standardebooks.org/feeds/atom/all", which works fine in a browser but, when I use it in a recipe, the resulting download only contains:

Failed feed: Standard Ebooks Atom Feed

HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized

Is there a way to enable simple authentication like this in a recipe? I've looked through the User Guide, and it's Greek to me!
*
If anyone can help, I'd REALLY appreciate it!

Cheers,
Kevin

    def get_browser(self):
        return BasicNewsRecipe.get_browser(self, user_agent='common_words/based')

try adding this or else use user_agent of your browser and its request headers if any.

I have no idea what that means, but I added it to the recipe and it didn't work. I still get "HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized" in the body of the epub.

This is the recipe so far (email redacted):

#!/usr/bin/env python
# vim:fileencoding=utf-8
from calibre.web.feeds.news import BasicNewsRecipe

class AdvancedUserRecipe1704803983(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = 'Standard Ebooks Atom Feed'
oldest_article = 7
max_articles_per_feed = 100
auto_cleanup = True
def get_browser(self):
return BasicNewsRecipe.get_browser(self, user_agent='common_words/based')
feeds = [
('Standard Ebooks Atom Feed', 'https://********@*****.***@standardebooks.org/feeds/atom/all'),
]

I wont know what the problem is unless i try it myself.

this is an ebooks website.. i dont know what this feed will get you but if you want public ebooks, try using the "Get books" function in calibre toolbar menu or many other websites that provide them.
