Not able to create Goodreads App API Key anymore

[carolinaknoll]

Hello! 👋 I decided to open this issue, in case anyone is wondering how to use this in 2022+.

I wanted to use this box, however it seems that Goodreads doesn't allow the creation of new developer keys anymore.

Here's what is shown on their developer website:

As of December 8th 2020, Goodreads no longer issues new developer keys for our public developer API and plans to retire the current version of these tools. You can find more information here.

With that, it seems that for new users, we wont be able to have the automated gist with our most updated books, and the only way I see right now is just to update our list of currently reading books manually. 😕

This is just an informational report, but if anyone has a different idea on this, please reply below. 😊

Thank you! ✨

Hi @carolinaknoll I have created an alternative for new users using Google Books API instead of GoodRead. Please check out Library Box.
