[GUI Plugin] PocketBook Cloud Upload (proof of concept / testers wanted)

[MarciPain]

Hi everyone,

I am a PocketBook user and I have been experimenting with integrating PocketBook Cloud uploads directly into Calibre.

By observing the PocketBook Cloud web application traffic, I managed to reverse engineer the basic workflow:

1. Authenticate against the PocketBook Cloud API.
2. Receive an access token.
3. Upload the selected book using an HTTP PUT request.

I have already verified that this works outside of Calibre, and I also created a working proof-of-concept Calibre plugin for my own use.

Before I invest more time into polishing it and possibly publishing it, I would like to know whether other PocketBook users are willing to help with testing.

What I am trying to determine:

- Are the PocketBook Cloud authentication parameters identical for all users?
- Are they specific to the selected PocketBook bookstore/provider?
- Does the plugin work with PocketBook accounts outside of my own setup?

At the moment, the plugin has only been tested with:

Provider alias:
pocketbook_uk

Shop ID:
1

If you own a PocketBook device and use PocketBook Cloud, I would be very interested in hearing from you.

I am especially looking for volunteers willing to inspect the PocketBook Cloud login requests in their browser developer tools to compare the parameters used by their accounts.

If there is enough interest and the implementation turns out to be sufficiently generic, I would be happy to release the plugin publicly.

Thank you!
