How to Use

Important Unlike Marco's Github activity plugin, this plugin returns a dictionary composed of the books in your Goodreads shelf and their details.

To enable it, set GOODREADS_ACTIVITY_FEED in your pelican config file. It should point to the activity feed of your bookshelf.

To find your self's activity feed,

  1. Open Goodreads homepage and login
  2. Click on My Books in the top navigational bar
  3. Select the bookshelf you are interested in from the left hand column
  4. Look for RSS link in the footer. Copy it's link.

Here is an example feed of currently-reading shelf,

GOODREADS_ACTIVITY_FEED='http://www.goodreads.com/review/list_rss/8028663?key=b025l3000336epw1pix047e853agggannc9932ed&shelf=currently-reading'

You can access the goodreads_activity in your Jinja2 template. goodreads_activity is a dictionary. Its valid keys are

  1. shelf_title it has the title of your shelf
  2. books it is an array of book dictionary

  1. title
  2. author
  3. link link to your book review
