Skoob has no public API and does not provide an easy way to export your publications (books, comics, and magazines) to other social networks like Goodreads.
To fix that, this project imports all publications from your Skoob account and generates a CSV file in the format that Goodreads expect, so you can easily import it here.

To prepare your project, adjust your database configurations on db/database.yml
and run on the terminal:
bundle install
bin/rake db:create db:migrate
Go to the terminal and run:
bin/rake skoob:import
Provide your Skoob credentials and wait.
At the end of the script, it will provide your skoob id. It is a number like
999999. To generate your csv file, execute:
bin/rake skoob:csv::generate 999999
Remember to replace 999999 with your skoob id. The instructions to generate the
csv will also be provided by the skoob:import task, so you don't need to remember
the command to generate the CSV.
Access the root url and provide your skoob credentials. Once you submit, you will be redirected to a page that will wait until the process is over. It will hold the user there and be pooling from time to time. When all publications are imported, it will generate the CSV file and the browser will download it.

When a user imports publications, each one of them will be saved into the publications table. This table is going to be used to generate the CSV file. After the CSV is generated, the publications are not needed anymore. To clean up the database, run:
bin/rake skoob:clean_up
This will delete publications older than 1 day ago (or publications that have no created_at set. That happens because the timestamp was added with the website up and running, so any book created pior to the timestamp migration will have null as the created_at value).
The clean up job is scheduled to run every day at 3am (UTC).
