Please do not shutdown the API. Limit it to the worthy few if necessary, but please do not eliminate it.

I am an avid reader, member of GoodReads for many years, user of Calibre for many more years. The Goodreads Sync plugin to Calibre (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=123281) has been a useful way to sync my library information to GoodReads updating my reading info in GoodReads with a single click within Calibre. Before this plugin, I generally did not update GoodReads regularly or with information like my reviews. Without the plugin, I may not bother and my use of GoodReads would most likely plummet. I think, at least this plugin, is good for GoodReads and the reader community.

I would sorely miss this capability and plead with GoodReads to maintain the API.

Thank you for a great service that has added to my enjoyment of books!
