NOTE

• --out-dir or -o can be used in all the above commands to select an output directory.

• Using the --config-init flag, users can re-initialize/overwrite the config files to default.

• Using the --config-info flag, users can get all the info about the config file and its settings.

---

Configuration

• Users can configure centain things like db_up_time_format, fic_up_time_format, delete_output_log & filename_format by editing the config.json file in the app directory.

• Filename format props (case-sensitive): author, fichubAuthorId, authorId, chapters, created, fichubId, genres, id, language, rated, fandom, status, updated, title

  Example:

  "filename_format": "[title] by [author]"
  

• You can also add API keys to the api_key_v0 which will include it in the header when making API calls to fichub

• To locate the config file, run fichub_cli --config-info and open the config.json file in an editor and make the necessary changes.

Notes

• For db_up_time_format & fic_up_time_format:
  • Only use valid datetime formats
• For delete_output_log:
  • Default is blank so it will always prompt for confirmation
  • Set it to "false" to always keep the file
  • Set it to "true" to always delete the file
