Goodreader is a comprehensive toolkit for scraping and analyzing book data from Goodreads.
From CRAN:
install.packages("Goodreader") #load the package
library(Goodreader)
#Search for books
AI_df <- search_goodreads(search_term = "artificial intelligence", search_in = "title", num_books = 10, sort_by = "ratings")
#Retrieve Book IDs and save them into a text file
get_book_ids(input_data = AI_df, file_name = "AI_books.txt")
#Get book-related information
scrape_books(book_ids_path = "AI_books.txt")
#Scrape book reviews
scrape_reviews(book_ids_path = "AI_books.txt", num_reviews = 10)These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
