An API to scrape archiveofourown.org fanfiction metadata using the fetch-ao3 library that I created for scraping archiveofourown.org. Currently it can search for archiveofourown.org works to get different metadata like author name, chapter count, word count, genre, ratings etc

• Fetch fanfiction works from archiveofourown.org
• Fetch the local metadata from the database

# Inside the git repository
docker build -t arzkar/ao3-api-js .

docker pull arzkar/ao3-api-js

docker-compose up

Add the "TOKEN_KEY", "DEFAULT_ADMIN_USER", "DEFAULT_ADMIN_PWD" & "DOCKER" for the API in a .env file in the project's root directory.
An example file is present called .env.ex
