Is it possible to fetch older issues of news magazines?
I'm wanting to download issues of The Economist older than the latest issue, in the 'fetch news' section of Calibre. Is this possible without scripting? If it isn't, could someone point me in the direction of good resources for opening up Calibre's functionality with scripting? Thank you.

Just edit the recipe on line 15
# For past editions, set date to, for example, '2020-11-28' edition_date = None For example, I used this date and it pulled up this issue. Use Saturday dates. edition_date = '2024-04-13' |

I found this api based on the API documentation for recipes shared by the creator of calibre, but unfortunately I don't know anything about programming and I can't read this stuff at all. How can I change the publication date in each recipe? Thanks again! |

Thank you! I've downloaded an earlier version of The Economist based on your suggestion. But I looked at other recipes and I realized that not every recipe has the ability to change the publication date directly.

Apologies.I just got confused about the difference between publication date and edition date, and what I want to ask is actually how to change the edition date of each recipe?

If you are talking about other recipes besides The Economist, then each website and recipes will be different on how you get past issues (if it is even possible) which I know nothing about.
