## What it is
A drop-in replacement metadata service for the retired Readarr metadata API, serving book metadata from Goodreads or Hardcover. It works with existing Readarr installations and community forks, and can be self-hosted or used via shared hosted instances.

## Use cases
- replace the defunct Readarr metadata service
- add books to Readarr that official metadata doesn't have
- self-host book metadata for ebooks and audiobooks
- get faster metadata for large authors
- use Hardcover as a metadata source for Readarr

## When to choose
- you run Readarr or a community fork and need working book metadata
- you want full Goodreads or Hardcover coverage with fast responses
- you prefer self-hosting your metadata service

## When to avoid
- you don't use Readarr or compatible book automation tools
- you need metadata for non-book media like movies or music
