There are no scraper built-in the program and I will not be starting to add them and need to support them. This type of feature is better suited for a plugin. I don't discount some sort or built-in behavior for integrating scrappers when the new plugin system is implemented. But any specific implementation should be relegated to a plugin.

I will transfer this to a discussion so others who are interested can pitch-in. I already support a lot of stuff this is too much for me.

I highly suggest that if you are interested, you try your hand at it. You can check either ComicVine Scrapper for a basis or my Amazon Scrapper for a more basic one.

I don't think that your idea of scrapping fandom will work. It's a collection of wikis that don't have a standard way to search/determine which pages to use and which tags to scrape in the page when every series is a different site.

We would need a single site that will be constant across series/pages. Something like mangaupdates.com seems better, but I don't think they have specific Volume/Chapter info.

I've created a mini scraper for mangaupdates.com. There is no gui (so check the console output -ssc). It only fetches the genres, but you can enable more by uncommenting some lines.
