Goodreads JSON API

Overview

If you're using Goodreads API, with this package you could use it in JSON. This package accepts a URL to a book (with author's name and book's title) and returns book object.

Installation

yarn add goodreads-json
yarn install

Usage

Basically, after you've installed the package, you could just import it in your project like this:

const goodreads = require('goodreads-json');

Now, you can just say things like const book = goodreads('https://books.url') and have your book object available with all its data.

Next steps

This package is obviously very limited now. Here's the plan:

• Make all Goodreads APIs available through the package (not only looking up a book via a URL)
• Significantly improve error handling and error messages
• Introduce options so that if you're looking for book cover and year published, you'd could just say something like goodreads(BOOK_ANSI, {title, year}) and have back an object that would look like this:

{
  "ansi": 123456,
  "cover": "https://cover.url",
  "year": 2015
}
