Looks like Amazon is retiring the Goodreads API, which just another step towards basically abandoning Goodreads and folding it into some other Amazon service I guess: https://joealcorn.co.uk/blog/2020/goodreads-retiring-API

My advice? Get off Goodreads while you still can (ie export your content) and move over to StoryGraph: https://beta.thestorygraph.com

A black-owned startup finally developing a viable alternative to Goodreads. Fuck yeah!

(Why not LibraryThings? Because, guess what.. it’s also owned by Amazon!)

Goodreads has quietly deprecated their public API, and disabled existing API keys without warning.

@moritzheiber there's also readng.co. storygraph is the best alternative I've found so far. i recommend it, but it has yet to completely replace goodreads for me, tbh
