Siddhant Jain (bluenotebook) | 3 comments Hello,

I was wondering if there is some way I could just see next to a book if a set of my friends already own that book in goodreads. I couldn't find a way quickly and I wanted to try out the goodreads API, so I wrote a script to this instead.

You can find my half-baked script here:
https://github.com/siddhantjain/goodr...

Currently, of course it takes a lot of time to populate a dictionary of book id as key and owner ids as value. I was thinking if there is someway I could speed up this process? If any gets a chance to have a look at code, can they suggest some changes?

Another problem I have with the script is that I have to currently enter a book id to search, which is inconvenient. Is there someway I could implement a drop-down menu like search as is there in on the website?

Any other comments, suggestions, improvements will be great!

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) I don't think this is possible to do with our API currently. Sorry!
