Book Clipper

This plugin imports book information from these websites into Obsidian:

• goodreads.com
• amazon.com

Available Variables

• {{title}}
• {{author}}
• {{translator}}
• {{pages}}
• {{cover}}
• {{publisher}}
• {{datepublished}}
• {{ISBN}}
• {{url}}
• {{language}}

⚠️ On Goodreads {{translator}} isn’t returned because authors and translators aren’t properly separated in the JSON-LD we use for web scraping. As a result, both end up in the author field.
