What is Abackend?

A high-performance, self-hosted metadata aggregator API and dashboard for audiobook collectors and developers.

This server sits between your mobile app/media server and external data sources. It aggregates, normalizes, and caches metadata from Audible, iTunes, Goodreads, and Penguin Random House into a single, unified JSON format.

Features:

  • Multi-Provider Search: Parallel querying of Audible, iTunes, Goodreads, and PRH with results merging.
  • Smart Caching:
  • Redis: Hot cache for millisecond-response times.
  • MongoDB: Persistent library storage (scales to 100k+ books).
  • Rich Metadata: Fetches high-res covers, authors, narrators, ratings, runtime, and chapter timings.
  • List Importer: Scrape and import entire lists from Goodreads (e.g., "Best Sci-Fi") or Audible (Charts, Series) with one click.
  • Management Dashboard:
  • Library: View, filter, and manage your cached collection.
  • Stats: Real-time traffic analysis, device tracking, and API benchmarking.
  • Settings: Toggle providers and configure search limits on the fly.
  • Logs: Live system logs viewer.
  • Authentication: Secure JWT-based authentication for API and Dashboard access.
