Does Goodreads support the use of APIs?

Article Details

As part of our overall commitment to continually improve our data management, Goodreads no longer issues new developer keys for our public developer API and plans to retire the current version of these tools. While we assess the value of APIs to determine how to support in the future, we continue to support active API users who meet our terms of service. You are welcome to give your feedback on Goodreads APIs by completing the developer API survey.

You can follow these steps if you’d like to export your personal data from the site:

To import or export your books, go to My Books, then click on Import and export under Tools on the left. From there:

• To Import your books from a .csv, .txt, or .xls file, click choose file under Import from a File, select the file from your computer, then click on Import Books. The batch upload may take several minutes to process, depending on how large your file is.
• To Export your books to a .csv file, click on the Export Library button at the top of the screen, below the Export heading, then wait for the file to generate. This may take some time if you have a large library. If successful, you will see a Your export from (date) - (time) note below the button. Click on that text to download the csv file.
