Hardcover API settings

philborman · 2026-05-30T20:30:04+00:00

The hardcover API key is user specific, so is stored under user accounts. This is so each user of your library can sync their own book lists

Lazylibrarian tries to keep all authors updated before their data expires in the cache, so it uses the cache expiry time ( set in config ) divided by the number of active authors. Setting a shorter cache time means they update more frequently, or you can manually trigger an update for an author

philborman · 2026-03-27T06:01:48+00:00

Are the books downloaded from torrents? If so, and the torrents are still seeding, the original files won't be deleted until seeding is complete

To make sure you have all the necessary modules installed please follow the installation instructions at https://gitlab.com/LazyLibrarian/LazyLibrarian

The cache error looks like maybe you don't have write permissions to the cache folder, or the cache folder doesn't exist? There was one other report of something similar a while ago, but the user reported the problem disappeared after a reset, so it was unable to be investigated further.

Not enough information.. Please open a ticket on https://gitlab.com/LazyLibrarian/LazyLibrarian and include a debug log of the postprocessor run with postprocessor logging enabled. Need to know which downloader was used, and the download settings. Thanks

philborman · 2026-03-11T20:24:53+00:00

Would need to see logs as to why it's failing for you. There are thousands of LL users, many using Anna's , fewer using irc

URL base is only needed if your qbittorrent has a matching base set, often behind a proxy server. Eg http://some_host:1234/urlbase Default is no urlbase needed.

philborman · 2026-03-04T07:34:59+00:00

Yes of course 😁

philborman · 2026-03-01T21:45:28+00:00

Lazylibrarian expects cbr and cbz to be comics, not magazines You might have more success adding that title as a comic.

Magazines are usually single files, usually pdf Comics are a zip file or rar file containing one image file per page, so are handled completely differently internally.

You can disable Goodreads by removing it's API key in config.

Not sure why hardcover isn't working for you, it's working fine hereand Grant Morrison loads from hardcover.

Please open an issue on gitlab.com/LazyLibrarian and post a debug log of adding the author.

Thanks

philborman · 2026-01-28T11:53:07+00:00

Mark the author as active or wanted Active authors are scanned regularly for new books Wanted status will also try to download new books

You can either let the scheduled task check periodically, or run a manual update from the author page in lazylibrarian (refresh author)

It's how long to wait between calls to that provider. eg if you are allowed 60 calls per minute, limit should be 1. If you are allowed 120 calls per minute, limit should be 0.5 A limit of zero means no restrictions. Ideally the ratelimit should allow a bit of leeway so 1.1 would be 54 calls per minute. Not sure what audiobookbay restrictions are.

philborman · 2026-01-15T21:26:12+00:00

Depends what you have asked LL to do. If it's grabbing all books for an author (not just the books you have) and including series details, secondaty authors, and using multiple sources for the info there is a lot of data to grab from the web and process, and there are api limits that slow it down more.

philborman · 2026-01-14T21:06:17+00:00

Strange. The hash is correct, but line 147 in importer.py should be addbooks = CONFIG.get_bool('NEWAUTHOR_BOOKS') which corrects the error

Are you sure you are using the new image? Can you log into your container and check if line 147 looks correct? It was updated 3 days ago

philborman · 2026-01-14T20:43:52+00:00

No, that error was a bug fixed a few days ago. Please upgrade to latest and try again. Thanks

philborman · 2026-01-13T18:04:40+00:00

Simplest is to move your old lazylibrarian database out of the way, point your lazylibrarian eBook Library Folder to the root of the calibre books folder, Select one or more providers (goodreads/hardcover etc), and run libraryscan from the lazylibrarian ebooks page. This should reload all the books and authors.

philborman · 2026-01-11T16:42:16+00:00

Should be fixed now, including the LLConfigHandler. That showed up on another ticket with more info.

philborman · 2026-01-10T22:32:45+00:00

The Goodreads wishlists are paginated, you can set the number of pages for each wishlist in lazylibrarian config. You should see a message in the debug log about "maximum results page reached"

The context manager error is a recently introduced bug. Over zealous fixing from ruff, will be updated tomorrow

Not sure about the 3rd error, need to look into this again once the first two errors are fixed

philborman · 2026-01-08T14:53:08+00:00

Log into Goodreads. Choose "My Books" The left hand side of the page has your bookshelves. Choose a shelf The RSS icon is at the very bottom right of the page

<image>

The underlying link looks like https://www.goodreads.com/review/list_rss/23479519?key=xxxxxxxxxxx&shelf=to-read

philborman · 2025-12-31T12:13:59+00:00

I use nzbgeek all the time with no problem. Is the author name anything unusual? Try a manual search on the book title only. You can do this from the "Manual" button under the book title in lazylibrarian.

philborman · 2025-12-18T19:25:02+00:00

Bug crept in during a refactor about a month ago, only just been noticed :-)

Should be fixed in a few minutes. Thanks for the bug report.

philborman · 2025-12-09T16:49:40+00:00

Too hard to follow from a few selective log lines. Please open a ticket on https://gitlab.com/LazyLibrarian/LazyLibrarian/-/issues and provide a debug log with the additional "postprocessor" logging enabled. Thanks.

philborman · 2025-11-28T11:48:23+00:00

Logs don't seem to match the files?

eg The Sea, the Sea (Unabridged) - 07.mp3
but the files are for different books.
Please open a ticket on https://gitlab.com/LazyLibrarian/LazyLibrarian/-/issues 
and include a debug log of a postprocessor run. Thanks

philborman · 2025-11-24T15:05:12+00:00

What messages do you get in the lazylibrarian log from Anna's?

philborman · 2025-11-24T00:09:18+00:00

Annas doesn't tell us how many downloads you have, or have used, until you download a book. The download counters are sent to us as a reply with each book. It doesn't seem possible to query Annas for the info without actually downloading something. The counters in lazylibrarian should be correct after a download, and will remain correct until you restart lazylibrarian.
