Add this package to your project using Swift Package Manager:
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/natikgadzhi/swift-kindle.git", branch: "main")
]import KindleAPI
// Initialize the client with authentication session
let client = KindleAPI(secrets: authSession)
// Fetch your library (returns [KindleJSONBook])
let books = try await client.getBooks()
// Get book details and metadata
let (details, metadata) = try await client.getBookMetadata(asin: "B001234567")
// Get annotations for a book
let annotations = try await client.getAnnotations(
for: details.asin,
refEmId: metadata.refEmId,
yjFormatVersion: details.yjFormatVersion
)
// Alternative: fetch books from HTML notebook (returns [KindleHTMLBook])
// This returns a _different_ list of books — not just the books
// you _currently own_ in Kindle, but all the books that you have any annotations for.
let htmlBooks = try await client.getHTMLBooks()Kindle does not provide an actual public-facing API. This package is using internal Amazon Kindle APIs. They're not supported by Amazon, and may change or be removed at any time.
KindleAPI takes a set of Amazon Kindle authentication secrets (4 cookies that expire in a year, and a special device token). The package does not provide the code to fetch or update the secrets.
