pytest
python scripts/live_docs_test.pylivedocstest.py validates Shiori public API documentation and repository pages without credentials. Authenticated read/write API behaviours are covered with mocked HTTP tests.
Optional LLM validation can be run with any configured OpenAI-compatible endpoint. For local Aeon validation, set AEONBASEURL and optionally AEONMODEL / AEONAPIKEY before running python scripts/modelvalidate.py.
API note
This server targets Shiori's documented legacy API under /api/* because the new API v1 is still documented as in development and self-documented at /swagger/index.html on running instances.
Safety
The write-capable tools mutate a Shiori bookmark database. Keep credentials in environment variables or a secret manager, never in source control.
This project was developed with the assistance of AI tools.
