Developer PSA: Current EPUB download links will be replaced soon

chocolatkey

As part of improvements to our backend, we will be retiring our old premium ebook download endpoint, https://api.j-novel.club/api/volumes/{volume ID}/getpremiumebook. For future usage, I strongly recommend not hardcoding a URL, but rather getting it from the response of one of these endpoints:

POST https://labs.j-novel.club/app/v1/me/redeem/{volume ID}?format=json
GET https://labs.j-novel.club/app/v1/me/library?format=json
GET https://labs.j-novel.club/app/v1/me/library/{book copy ID}?format=json
GET https://labs.j-novel.club/app/v1/me/library/volume/{volume ID}?format=json

At the moment, the link leads to the old getpremiumebook endpoint. Once the new endpoint is live, the URLs in responses will be switched over to the new endpoint. New URLs will continue to include authentication parameters. Those responses include the new URLs

@chocolatkey here's hoping the new download system lets us see the version number

@nofairytale There is no version number at the moment until we significantly revamp our backend, however there is a last modified date accessible you can use (will be used to provide update notifications in the future).

@chocolatkey that's fine too, as long as there's an indication of whether I need to update my copy... thanks! 👍

Update: as of now all ebook downloads will update a last downloaded date in the database, which is also available in the response data when set
