[Metadata Download Plugin] Goodreads Metadata **Deprecated**
As of Calibre 0.8 this plugin is deprecated and will no longer work. Instead you should use the replacement Goodreads Metadata Source plugin which is compatible with Calibre 0.8 onwards.
This plugin allows Calibre to read book information from goodreads.com when you choose to download/fetch metadata. Calibre currently comes with plugins for a number of information sources such as Amazon and Googlebooks. Adding this plugin can potentially increase both the success rate and quality of information retrieved for some of your books. It is the first of a Goodreads trinity of plugins I will publish in this forum. The other two are for Goodreads cover downloads and shelve syncing. Main Features of v1.3.3

Installed this alongside the covers plugin and they both seem to be working nicely.

You are a rockstar and went so far above and beyond what I was hoping for when I asked about this. Thank you!

If you PM me with your email address, I will send you a special debug build which will generate a bunch of output so we can hopefully see a little better what may be going on. |

First of all, thank you so much for this plugin. I've always wanted my tags to just pretty much have genre type information and this looks perfect.
Can you please add "Horror" as a tag? That's top tag for most Stephen King novels. Also, can you add "Non-Fiction" and maybe not have Fiction and General-Fiction switch to "Fiction" instead of "General"? Last edited by StevieRaveOn; 02-27-2011 at 10:50 PM. |

Awesome, thank you so much. Like I said, you have no idea how much this helped me, I hated having tons of tags. I just wanted my tags to be simple genres and you saved me hours of time.
Here is a list of all the popular shelfs. http://www.goodreads.com/shelf Some ones from page 1 that I know would help my collection: 'nonfiction': 'Non-Fiction', (sometimes it's tagged as 1 word) 'biography': 'Biography', 'autobiography': 'Biography', 'memoir': 'Biography', 'reference': 'Reference', 'poetry': 'Poetry', 'historical': 'History', 'politics': 'Politics', 'philosophy': 'Philosophy', 'travel':'Travel', 'psychology':'Psychology', 'music':'Music', 'self-help': 'Self Help', 'historical-fiction': 'History, Fiction' Last edited by StevieRaveOn; 02-28-2011 at 12:34 PM. |

Just my 2 cents. All of the mapping have been good but Historical Fiction is a genre all its own and rarely should be lumped in with History.
Of course this will all be mute if you are kind enough to make this a customizable section. ![]() |

Once Kovid tells me his new API is completely nailed down I'll look to do the major changes to it including customisable shelf/tag mappings. I saw a comment from a feature ticket today that mentions a new identifiers table so will push a new version out once that is released making use of that. It will allow a closer integration between this plugin and my "Goodreads Sync" one - as by using Ctrl+D to get metadata I will be able to store the Goodreads ID from this plugin, so your book will automatically be "linked" for use by the Sync plugin. It would also make sense that if you link a book first using Sync and then do Ctrl+D, that I download metadata for that specific Goodreads book which will greatly increase the chances of a match. I can also scrape other id's that Goodreads has like ASIN and store those too. |
