Gustav Andersson | 3 comments Hi,

I created a script that pulls library data out of your audible library. Feel free to check it out.

Cat (crookedcat) | 9 comments What does the "points" column refer to?
Are you able to extract category of book?

This is great.


message 5: by Cat (new)

Cat (crookedcat) | 9 comments Nevermind about category. I don't think that info is on the page for you to jQuery.

This is a nice script. You did a good job parsing the page.

Points are minutes times rating. So a 100 minute book that I rate at 4 gets 400 points. I then use that to sum up all the points and divide by the number of minutes to get an average rating that gives long books more weight than short ones.

Gustav Andersson | 3 comments By the way, if you like the script and you think you know other forums where audible people might be hiding, feel free to share it with them.

Kristie | 2212 comments Thanks again, Gustav! I just did this, and it worked great. If I can figure it out, anyone can. FYI, the instructions for running the script in Chrome work for Firefox as well. I'm excited to be able to maintain this as time goes on.

Too bad Audible 1) puts the authors in First Name Last Name, rather than Last Name, First Name (but that's just me being anal retentive...it's workable as is), and 2) doesn't include narrators in the library.

Thank you!! At one point I had tried to jury rig something up in Google Sheets but it required too much manual tweaking. This is great. Ran your script, copied my 500+ entries into a google sheets doc, done! Really appreciate it.

Hi Gustav:

I'd like to try it out, but, since I was born waaay before the computer age, I'm confused by the comment: "you want to run this entire file as a script on the page." How do I do that? Sorry, you would think an old broad like me could figure it out, but I was always a hardware person, not a programmer or a software person. Any help would be appreciated, even though I know I'm probably gonna slap my head and say: DUH when you tell me what to do. sigh... <><

Hi Gustav

Thank you, that really helped! I was able to use your script to get my purchased Audible stats/info.

Question: I discovered when I had to manually copy and paste my Wish List info into eXcel that a simple copy could capture the Narrator info along with the author and title, even though I couldn't see that info when looking at the list online. If it is there, is there any way that you could get your script to capture that info from the Audible Library?
