Hi all,
I'm trying to update my Bookpedia library but would really like to find some local sources of information from Australia using the website https://www.dymocks.com.au.
I have no experience in coding so don't really understand how to go about adding this as a search database. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi and welcome to these forums.
The closest to Dymocks is Abbey's Bookshop Sydney. Which can be found in Preferences > Sites. Remember you can click and drag all these sites up and down for search priority.
Whilst I lived in Sydney for 30 years I too found Bookpedia lack of Australian sites frustrating and Conor installed the Abbeys search plug-in for me. It does have quite an extensive ranch.

Re: Plug-in Request
Dymocks doesn't have an API, which makes it a lot easier to get data in a format that is easy for a computer program to understand. Links attributes directly with their value, such author. You can extract data from the webpage but it a lot more complicated to build a plugin to do that.
Thank you for pointing out another source of possible data for down under to add to the list.
