Hey all, just wanted to share a script I've made for myself, out of lack of better alternatives. It does one simple task: you can search for ebooks and audiobook on an already configured Prowlarr instance.
## โจ Features
- ๐ Powerful search across multiple indexers via Prowlarr
- ๐ Support for both eBooks and Audiobooks
- ๐พ Smart caching system for quick result retrieval
- ๐ฏ Interactive and headless mode for easily using it remotely
- ๐ณ Docker containerization for easy deployment
- ๐ก Support for both Usenet and Torrent protocols
I didn't got used to organize ebooks and audiobooks with Readarr. So I've completely dropped it form my setup. Instead, I'm using CWA to organize ebooks and ABS for audiobooks. I'm doing the searches using this script, which sends the wanted releases it finds to the configured download clients, torrent or usenet. After that I have some separated scripts that scan the respective download locations for new content and send it accordingly: ebooks are imported in the CWA library and for the audiobooks, that's a bit more complex, sending them to the auto-m4b tool import folder, processed, then tagged with beets-audible and moved to the ABS library.
This works for me for the moment, as I don't really need to watch an author and auto download the new content. All I needed was a simple way to search and download new content and sent it to my libraries automatically.
Beside this I'm using a dockerized version of OpenAudible that starts and download new purchases periodically. Also using CWA book downloader and openbooks for other sources for ebooks download.
P.S. I'm not a developer. I've made this, getting a lot of help from Copilot.
This is not a project that I have any plans to develop as I lack the necessary skills. A WebUI would have been nice, but that's too complicated for me rn.
You can use this however you want, I'll try responding, if any questions, as best as my knowledge allows me :)))
First time sharing something to the community, so that's a big one to me.
Enjoy!
