ambrowse
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
ambrowse extracts book metadata from saved amazon.com, amazon.co.uk or amazon.de pages. It watches the directory 'ambrowse'
|
|
inside your HOME, digests newly written files and adds the metadata to a list in 'books.yaml'. It then removes those files
|
|
after a time delay, leaving only the metadata list.
|
|
|
|
You can find releases on [releases.gutmet.org](https://releases.gutmet.org) or build it yourself.
|
|
|
|
build
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
If you want to build ambrowse yourself, you need go1.11+ with module support. Clone this repository and type 'go build ambrowse.go'.
|
|
|
|
quick start
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Download a release from [releases.gutmet.org](https://releases.gutmet.org) and unzip it. Put the correct file for your operating system
|
|
somewhere you can run it. Then start a command line:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
> ambrowse
|
|
2019/01/13 19:06:34 ambrowse is watching /home/johndoe/ambrowse
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Go to amazon, visit a book page and save it to the folder ambrowse is watching.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
2019/01/13 19:06:40 Reading metadata from /home/johndoe/ambrowse/Metallbearbeitung II: Verbindungstechniken, Gebrauchsgegenstaende aus Metall ALS-Werk- und Arbeitsmappen: Amazon.de: Ingrid Kreide, Wolfram Enders: Buecher.html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If you are on Unix or MacOS, you will get a desktop notification about the extracted metadata. You might want to add the watched folder to your favorites to reduce the number of clicks and add ambrowse to the services that are automatically started.
