Wishlist support?

[edent]

I see vestigial support for retrieving wishlists in:

kobo-book-downloader/kobodl/kobo.py

Line 390 in 7e1efb2

def GetMyWishList(self) -> list:

There's also an old commit which has some functionality: fabea40

How difficult would it be to re-integrate wishlists into this project?

Could you tell me more about how you want to use the wishlist? I assume a wishlist is books you don't own, so I'm not sure I understand the point of supporting it.

[edent]

Sure! I want to know when books on my wishlist drop in price.

I wrote a scraper for Amazon - https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2022/01/use-python-to-get-alerted-when-an-amazon-wishlist-item-drops-in-price/ - which I use regularly. But Kobo doesn't allow scraping.

Essentially, I want to see that a book has suddenly dropped to 99p so I can buy it.

Ah, thanks. That's interesting and a little outside the scope for this tool, but it might be easy enough to add that we could try it. I'll transfer this discussion to a feature request. #151
