Hi Zhang,

The recommendation.show method appears to be working. Is authenticated user authorized to see the recommendation you are requesting?

Hi Dominikus,

We currently don't support getting all progress updates unless they are recent updates.

Hi Prakhar,

1) We only provide XML responses.

2) If you're experiencing issues with spaces, you could try formatting the url as in the following example: https://www.goodreads.com/search/inde...

3) The Developer Terms of Service stipulates that you not request any method more than once a second.

4) The response times seem about the same from here with curl and a browser. It may be the way curl is trying to resolve the URL vs the browser. I would suggest searching online for possible solutions. Here's a question on StackOverflow that may be relevant to your situation: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36...

Thanks for contacting us!

Hi Bart,

By "note" do you mean a comment? If so, you can use the comment.create method for that.

Hi Jonathan,

In the series return data, book id's for a work are returned under the best_book tag.

Hi Raman,

We don't have any sample code in C# for this process. If I understand correctly though, you already have retrieved the access token and now want to use it to sign the request header.

If so, the blog post you mentioned above looks like it may steer you in the right direction. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about .NET to offer more specific help.

Good luck!

Charles

Hi Kelly,

You want to use the comment.create method with type set to 'topic' for adding new comments to an existing topic.
