The problem is the title:

The plugin is expecting a hash character before the series index. It is expecting it to look like:

I'll have a look to fix it, but it will probably be sometime next week.

The weird thing is when I edit the title in Goodreads it does show the #

davidfor: Ok, so I fixed the issue where the ISBN doesn't get retrieved when Goodreads doesn't have an "Original Title" listed on line one of the book details. Also, now if the Goodreads id points to a kindle edition it retrieves the ASIN. Here is the code. For the worker:

And the config that adds the option to turn it on or off:

Fetch metadata via CLI
I wanted to know if it is possible to use this plugin via CLI. So far everything i have tried has no result. Im using a docker container that has calibre in it and i have no GUI. When i do the command here is what i get

Code:
./fetch-ebook-metadata -p Goodreads -o -v -t "The 12th Planet" -a "Zecharia Sitchin"
<calibre.utils.logging.ThreadSafeLog object at 0x7f38dc1e6950>
No results found
i Also tried dropping the json file i found on this thread into my plugin folder along side the Goodreads.zip but still no dice.

It works here from the command line. But, that search doesn't work as the first match Goodreads finds is for a book with the title "The 12th Planet by Zecharia Sitchin Summary & Study Guide" by BookRags. The plugin rejects this as not close enough to the title and author that were searched for. The same will happen if you do the search using the calibre GUI.

Yes. Unfortunately, the way the Goodreads search works is to use everything supplied as a single argument. That means it doesn't separate the author and title when searching. So, what it is finding in this case is probably the best match for the search. But, obviously not the correct book.

The plugin is only looking at the first result from the search. If I have time, I'll see if I can change it to look at the first few results. This should make it match the book in this case.

Cool looking forward to it. Thanks for the heads up about the search string because I'm in the process of creating a python post processing script for lazylibrarian and need to search for metadata from within the script.

Not pulling series?
Anyone else having an issue with the scraper not pulling series metadata since Goodreads did a font change for the series on their site?

No I hadn't, but there does look like a layout change, so it has probably broken the scraping for the series. I'll try and look at it tonight.

Beta - Series changes
As @jaslerx reported, the series information has not been retrieved. This is because of a change in the layout of the book page with how the series information is displayed. And, amazingly, this change is for the better. It makes getting the title and the series information easier and less error prone. And it makes it possible to solve the problem @Tijntje reported earlier in the year.

Attached is a beta to fix this problem. Please test and report if there are any problems.

And while posting this, I realised I had completely forgotten about @Iceybones code for fetching the ASIN. I'll try and merge those changes later in the week week.

No. The changes in the beta are just "get it working again". I'll look at this with the other change.
