Checklist

  • I searched existing issues first.
  • This request fits Sake as an open-source self-hosted reading stack.

What problem are you trying to solve?
Manually searching for metadata outside of Sake is time-consuming.

Which part of Sake would this affect?

  • Web app
  • API
  • KOReader plugin
  • Sync/progress/device flow
  • Search/download providers
  • Self-hosting / deployment
  • Documentation
  • Something else

What would you like to see?
Metadata downloader with multiple providers to choose from - Amazon, Hardcover, ISBN, etc.

Why is this valuable?
Some books do not download with much metadata. This feature would:

  1. Fetch metadata on download and/or
  2. Offer a metadata search for books already in the library

Alternatives or workarounds
The alternative now is to manually search for metadata and add/update it field-by-field.

Additional context
Calibre-Web-Automated offers an excellent metadata fetch/update feature set. I'm sure other apps (especially Calibre-based) offer something similar, but it's the only one I have have used.
