Used Book Search Application

Search booklooker for sales on (used) books from the goodreads to-read shelf

very much work-in-progress! small notebook to try web-scraping

  • reads exported goodreads dataset
  • read into pandas, clean up data
  • use BeautifulSoup to scrape booklooker.de
  • search booklooker using ISBN or author, title
  • build a dataframe containing all found sales for each searched book
  • export dataframe to (ugly) HTML for quick overview, with links to the sale offers

TODO:

  • add support for other sites, e.g. abebooks
  • automate goodreads data export using beautifulsoup or selenium
  • create web application using flask, fastAPI, etc.
