2. Replace the https://www.goodreads.com of any book page url with https://biblioreads.ml (or another instance URL). Then click the "Fetch Data" button. For example: www.goodreads.com/book/show/5907.The_Hobbit to biblioreads.ml/book/show/5907.The_Hobbit.

Since Goodreads stopped issuing new developer keys for their public developer API back in December of 2020 and plans to retire the current version of the their API which you can learn more about here. BiblioReads, goes to the Goodreads book page and scrapes the required content.

The "Biblio" in BiblioReads comes from the prefix biblio- meaning book and "Reads" comes from the ending of Goodreads which is what this website is an alternative front-end for.

Nothing. Since we don't collect any user data, we can't use any user data.

When you make a request for a book on BiblioReads, your request needs to be first scraped by the scraper from Goodreads before the result can be shown to you. This causes a delay from when you make the request to when the result is shown.

If you have a certain feature that you would like to see, feel free to open an issue on GitHub or Codeberg.
