Possibility to use opds catalogues

[Rorschach1010]

I have a calibre server and a calibre Web Server running. Both can be reached via the opds API.

Legado doesn't seem to be able to connect to opds. I tried the "add url" option but it says error. Then I tried the source management. Seems like I can login through WebView inside legado but I couldn't download my books directly into legado.

Am I doing something wrong or is it not possible right now?

legado only supports http protocol. Writing proper rules may be work for cailbre web.

Since I don't have a domain and don't use a reverse proxy, I use only the http protocol. So technically it should work.

The thing is, I can login within the app but I can't download the books so that the book is in my legado library with all the tags (author, series, Publisher...).

Most of the in-app help is only in Chinese so I'm not sure if I'm missing something. Is there an English guide or wiki somewhere?

Do yoy know CSS selector Xpath JsonPath? legado use them to get elements from http response. use @ to extract text from elements.

<div class="bookList>
  <div class="book">
    <div class="name">BookName</div>
    ...
  </div>
  <div class="book">
  ...
</div>

.bookList extract all book elements .name@text extract its innerText BookName

{
"books": [
    {"name": "bookName"},
  ...
 ]
}

$.books[*] all bookItem $.name bookItem name bookName

I do not know how cailbreWeb server response looks like. So may be i can help if you show me the response throw network tab of browser devtools. Or you just do it.

{
  "bookSourceName": "CailbreWeb",
  "bookSourceType": 0,
  "bookSourceUrl": "<protocol>://<your server ip>",
  "customOrder": 0,
  "enabled": true,
  "enabledCookieJar": true,
  "enabledExplore": true,
  "enabledReview": false,
  "lastUpdateTime": 0,
  "respondTime": 180000,
  "ruleBookInfo": {},
  "ruleContent": {},
  "ruleExplore": {},
  "ruleReview": {},
  "ruleSearch": {
    "bookList": "selector which can extract book elements",
    "name": "selector which can extract bookName"
  },
  "ruleToc": {},
  "searchUrl": "<searchEntry>, {\n  \"body\": \"${key}\",\n  \"method\": \"POST\",\n}",
  "weight": 0
}
