kandi X-RAY | GoodreadsScraper Summary

GoodreadsScraper is a Python library typically used in Automation, Crawler, Selenium applications. GoodreadsScraper has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has build file available, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This is a Python + Scrapy (+ Selenium) based web crawler that fetches book and author data from Goodreads. This can be used for collecting a large data set in a short period of time, for a data analysis/visualization project. With appropriate controls, the crawler can collect metadata for ~50 books per minute (~3000 per hour). If you want to be more aggressive (at the risk of getting your IP blocked by Goodreads), you can set the DOWNLOAD_DELAY to a smaller value in settings.py, but this is not recommended.
