Goodreads Scraper

Goodreads is where millions of readers track what they’ve read, review what they love, and discover what to read next. It’s one of the most active hubs for real-time book opinions, rankings, and user-generated reading data — across every genre and market.

Our Goodreads scraper helps you unlock this insight. Whether you’re tracking trends, analysing reviews, or profiling readers, we collect the data you actually need.

How Our Goodreads Data Scraper Works

We don’t offer scraping tools you have to manage. Our Goodreads data scraper works as a service — you tell us what data matters, and we deliver it ready to use. No parsing, no manual effort, just reliable information tailored to your goals.

We extract everything directly from Goodreads listings and user activity — book titles, authors, reviews, ratings, genres, user shelves, and more. You receive clean, structured data in CSV, Excel, JSON, or any other format you prefer — already filtered and formatted for your use case.

What We Extract with the Goodreads Scraper

The Goodreads scraper focuses on extracting detailed, reader-generated content and metadata tied to books and authors. We collect:

  • Book titles and authors
  • Average ratings and total rating counts
  • Full user reviews (text, date, reviewer name)
  • Genres and thematic tags
  • Book descriptions and series info
  • Edition details (format, pages, ISBN, publisher, publication date)
  • Number of readers who marked the book as “read,” “to-read,” or “currently reading”

This structured dataset offers deep insight into how books are perceived and positioned in the market — directly by the readers themselves.

Beyond the Basics: Scrape Goodreads for Deeper Insight

When you scrape Goodreads, you get access to much more than book listings and reviews. We can extract:

  • Reviewer profiles (location, reading stats, follower count)
  • Custom user shelves and tags
  • Lists and rankings (e.g. "Best of", "Top 100", "Award Winners")
  • Author Q&As and blog posts
  • Group discussions and community votes
  • Reading challenge participation data
  • Lists of similar books and cross-linked recommendations

These additional layers are key for trend spotting, audience segmentation, and building content or recommendation engines around actual reader behaviour.

About Goodreads

Goodreads.com is the world’s largest platform for readers and book recommendations, with over 150 million users and a library of more than 2.5 billion books rated or reviewed. Launched in 2007 and acquired by Amazon in 2013, it serves as a social cataloging site where users track their reading, leave reviews, and discover new books based on community activity.

While the platform is available globally, it’s especially popular in the US, UK, Canada, India, and Australia. The interface is primarily in English, but Goodreads supports other languages for broader accessibility. Unlike bookstores or marketplaces, Goodreads isn’t for selling — it’s for shaping opinion. It’s a trusted source of honest reviews, reading trends, and genre-based communities, all created by readers themselves.

Why Use a Goodreads Web Scraper?

A Goodreads web scraper helps you extract valuable public data that reflects how real readers interact with books — what they rate highly, how they describe them, and which authors build loyal audiences. This isn’t just metadata — it’s opinion at scale.

Use it for competitive analysis, content recommendation systems, audience profiling, or book marketing research. Whether you’re a publisher, data analyst, or app developer, scraping Goodreads gives you access to community-driven insights that simply aren’t available anywhere else.
