OFDb support

Thu May 02, 2019 3:56 pm
Dear all,
since "normal" people lost the possiblitiy to use Amazon in Tellico, I wonder, if OFDb Support for Tellico is possible (ofdb.de).
An Gateway for XML is already existing under http://ofdbgw.org/.
I tried to to write a bash script, which can be used in Tellico to do that, but I had no success (to be honest, my bash scripting skills are poor and I have not really an idea of what Tellico expcets to get).
Is there any Tellico documentation for writing exteral data sources?

Kind regards

I'll check it out. It looks unofficial? Some of the gateways are returning 404, not found, right now.

Looking at some of the existing ones might help. They can be written in any language you want. The only requirement is that they accept search parameters via command-line and return Tellico XML on the standard output.
