R packages - Sep 2024 - Goodreader: Scrape and Analyze 'Goodreads' Book Data

Dear R Users,

I am pleased to announce that Goodreader 0.1.1 is now available on CRAN.

Goodreader offers a toolkit for scraping and analyzing book data from
Goodreads. Users can search for books, scrape detailed information and
reviews, perform sentiment analysis on reviews, and conduct topic modeling.

Here?s a quick overview of how to use Goodreader:
# Search for books
AI_df <- search_goodreads(search_term = "artificial intelligence",
search_in = "title", num_books = 10, sort_by = "ratings")

# Retrieve Book IDs and save them to a text file
get_book_ids(input_data = AI_df, file_name = "AI_books.txt")

# Get book-related information
scrape_books(book_ids_path = "AI_books.txt")

# Scrape book reviews
scrape_reviews(book_ids_path = "AI_books.txt", num_reviews = 10)
