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:

• 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.
