Retrieve list of books bought

Hello,
I wonder if anybody ever tried to retrieve in some form (a list would be ok) all the books bought on Kobo site. Possibly also the archived ones, it should be possible to interrogate the site, in some way.
I am buying from both Kobo and Amazon, (usually preferring Kobo, to support it) but I find it increasingly difficult to check that I am not buying doubles, because sometime books may be in the archive, or I do not update them correctly in my Calibre library.
Anything would be a great help!

Bruno

If I am logged in to my Kobo account and looking at a title I already own there is a message telling me that I own that book. If it it's an archived title the message says that I have removed it from my library and there is a button to restore the title to my library. But I can see all my purchased and archived books at any time in the My Books section of my account.

Thanks, but I am interested in getting the whole list, in a csv or excel like list, otherwise I have to go one by one.
Thanks anyway

That's what you get if you go to the My Books section of your account, a list of every book you have bought from Kobo.
It can be sorted by title, author, series, status or date added. You can filter the list by genre. You can search the list with whatever search terms you choose. Your archived items are in another list which can be sorted or searched in the same way. The Archived list even includes all the previews you've looked at. If the lists in My Books isn't what you want, can you explain why that list doesn't help you?

(I've checked the kobo.com/it site to make sure it has same features as kobo/en.)

Edit: do you mean you want a list that you can export from Kobo?
2nd edit: The list functions above is on the website, I can't see these functions on the app.

Yes on the edit, perhaps I did not explain myself very clearly, apologies for that. Unfortunately the list on the Kobo "Books" section is non-existent. An export, yes. It is cumbersome to scroll all books. I know there is a sort and a search, but I cannot have a global view. I have something like 1600 books bought on this site and I'd like to do some operation globally, not on a single book/author/series. It's a wish I have.
Thanks

I believe you can do that with Calibre using the catalogue feature.

This thread in the Calibre board of mobileread might help you get started.

Thanks, I'll look there. But it doesn't help with my archived books, I need to de-archive them all.
For now thanks

Not sure if this tool handles archived content but take a look at https://github.com/TnS-hun/kobo-book-downloader

On a side note, I wish the wishlist on the Kobo website could be sorted. And I wish the rows were not so big.

Oddly it sorts if accessed on eink Kobo. Strange it doesn't on Web browser

Yeah, sorting the wishlist by price is one of my biggest... uh, wishes here.

As for the list of books bought, I track that information in Calibre. I have custom columns for the purchase source and purchase price. (I just use the default 'date' column for purchase date.) Unfortunately this required a lot of going back through the purchase history page and sometimes even email receipts to manually input everything.
