it's everything after show/ in the link to your profile!

e.g. the link to my profile is https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/121455547-bella-vice-van... and my id is 121455547-bella-vice-van-heyde

you can also post a link to your profile or to your want to read shelf and the site will parse the id from that!

The profile ID is actually just the number, 12145554.

You can verify this yourself by going to https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/121455547 or https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/121455547-hello-world.

Hrm, I’m trying https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/9499790-brian

And keep getting an “error, failed to load books” message. Am I adding my profile incorrectly, or is something else going on.

When I try with your id, it works.

Great idea, btw, I can’t wait to try it

does this link work for you?

I assume you'll have to change the library -- I'll try to repro and fix that issue! That shouldn't happen

and thanks!!

That works, but when I try my library, I get the same error “ Failed to load books. Please try again or contact [email protected] if the issue persists.”
