Are you using a kobo account or some other identity provider?

NOTE: You must have a kobo email login for this tool to work (you can't use an external provider like Google or Facebook). However, you can create a NEW kobo account and link it with your existing account on the user profile page. Go to My Account -> Account Settings to link your new kobo login.

I am, its a Rakuten account as seen below:

When I click Link Kobo Account and provide new account details, it says "Cannot link two accounts of the same provider, Rakuten" so it should be the correct type?

Any idea on how to fix the login issue?

I appreciate the detailed bug report. This has happened for various people over the years, and its usually because of what I said above. Sounds like that isn't the issue for you. I have never been able to reproduce myself.

I don't really know off the top of my head what you can try, aside from using the Calibre plugins I mention at the top of the README as an alternative to kobodl.

That didn't work either; Obok is showing the book as DRM-free which is why I wanted to try this. Thanks anyways.

@subdavis What about a way for me to manually get the access token/cookie from an active login session and pass it to the app/script?

[chrisdma]

Would you actually be able to give me a sample json config file? I managed to get a login working from kobo-book-downloader (even though I couldn't get the downloader working) that has the AccessToken, DeviceId, RefreshToken, UserId, and UserKey properties. Can I make this usable with kobodl?

[subdavis]

Resourceful. You can specify the path using kobodl --config /path/to/config.json [args]

{
  "users": [{
    "Email": "",
    "DeviceId": "",
    "AccessToken": "",
    "RefreshToken": "",
    "UserId": "",
    "UserKey": "",
  }]
}

This worked, awesome! Thank you mate!

When I try specifying the json path it still hangs after pasting the captcha response. Any help? I'm on an M1 mac.

Do what I did and use kobo-book-downloader to generate your json authorization and use those values to build a json for this project and itll work.

How do I do this?

[chrisdma]

By downloading kobo-book-downloader and using it to get the config thats generated; basically what I said in my last message lol

[mslmn]

How do I get the generated config? Where is it located?
