Goodreads Connection

I would like a direct connection to Goodreads so any reviews I have posted there can be seen here. I would like to see my friends and their reviews as compared to what's available on Bookmooch. I would like to be able to scan with Goodreads and add to Bookmooch inventory. The possibilities are endless.

Hi all,

I'm an app developer and I use both Bookmooch and Goodreads. I had a list of 300 books on my to-read shelf on goodreads. I wanted to add them all to my wishlist on bookmooch. So I made a way to do a one-click transfer.

If I put this online, would people use it?

Ok great! I built the app, here it is:

yonderbook.com

Message me with questions or comments! I'm happy to add more features if people need them! Right now it takes your to-read Goodreads shelf and puts them all on your Bookmooch wishlist.

I use To Read as my list of books I already own but have not read yet. I use another shelf (wishlist) for the books I need to buy/mooch. Is there a way to pick the shelf for import?

totally! I can build that for you. I'm thinking a little dropdown of your shelves, and you can pick which one you want to send over to bookmooch.

Hi Sarah! I built that feature for you. Now there's a view to let you choose which shelf you want to send to bookmooch.

I tried it on my wishlist shelf and I got this error: Internal Server Error
undefined method `' for nil:NilClass
WEBrick/1.3.1 (Ruby/2.3.3/2016-11-21) at bookmooch.herokuapp.com:80

Hi sarah,

So it showed you all your shelves, and you clicked the one that said wishlist, and then that's the error it gave?

yes the error happened after i logged in and selected a shelf. The book icon is actually an open bracket and a closing bracket, but that is how you make a link to a book in this forum. Anyway, I just tested it again and on a few other shelves, but they all returned the same error.

Hi Sarah,

Thanks for the update. Would you mind telling me what browser & version you are using?

These newer authentication methods need to be on a new browser to work. And just to confirm, you are succefully logging into goodreads, it shows you a list of all your shelves, then you click one, and it breaks. Right?

If your shelves are public, could you give me a link to the shelf you are trying to send over? Thanks!!

I'm using Firefox 53 - and yes I am able to log in to GR just fine.

Ok, I've done a lot of work on it in the past week. I tested it out particularly on Firefox 53 and it works! Let me know if it works now!

I got this error: "An unhandled lowlevel error occurred. The application logs may have details."

Here is the shelf I was trying to use: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/752825-sarah?shelf=wishlists

Thank you Sarah! I have error logging on the app now so I got an email about the error. It's something unique to your shelf I think. I'll get to the bottom of this 😁😁
