Can this generate a CSV file of key Gutenberg metadata? #127

Closed breck7 closed 4 years ago

Aloha, Can this generate a CSV file of the key metadata (title, author, year, text link) for Gutenberg books? If so, I can make a pretty cool tile in Ohayo to allow people to instantly do text analysis and other things on any gutenberg title (https://github.com/treenotation/ohayo/issues/24)

Here's some JSON, last updated 7 months ago.

Edit: It was made using this library, see the Python script there for how. It could be modified to output CSV, or you could convert the JSON.

Thanks for the pointer @hugovk. Closing this issue as the linked repository should contain a good starting point for any scripting needs.
