Adding Author Links Programmatically through cli or the api

klackerz · 06-20-2017, 04:27 AM

Is there any way to add authors link to authors without using the Manage Author option.

I tried searching through the calibre cli options and also checked the calibre database api but didn't find anything.

The API function you are looking for is

set_link_for_authors(author_id_to_link_map)

IIRC it is not documented, since it is not a commonly used function.
