So since it is working u will need to get access token

I think for all users but I did not check
There is also a good library that you can use
https://github.com/sefakilic/goodreads
If you are using python

you will need to get access token to access the user book or such info
an example code to get access token
# example code to access the Goodreads API
def get_access_token(client_key,client_secret):
url = 'http://www.goodreads.com'
request_token_url = '%s/oauth/request_token' % url
authorize_url = '%s/oauth/authorize' % url
access_token_url = '%s/oauth/access_token' % url

# consumer authentication using oauth2
consumer = oauth2.Consumer(key= CLIENT_ID, secret= CLIENT_SECRET)
client = oauth2.Client(consumer) #create the client
# The OAuth Client request to get access token
response, content = client.request(request_token_url, 'GET')
if response['status'] != '200':
raise Exception('Invalid response: %s' % response['status'])

#get access token
request_token = dict(urllib.parse.parse_qsl(content))
oauth_token_key,oauth_token_secret = request_token[b'oauth_token'], request_token[b'oauth_token_secret']
return oauth_token_key, oauth_token_secret

# functions requiring access token for publishing or reading user profiles

so i have i want to extract the books from shelves in a group like this https://www.goodreads.com/group/books...

i want to inquire how i can get the group bookshelves through the API. i looked in the API documentation for this but could not find this?
is there a possible workaround for this ?
