search.books and specifying a search field.

[Matt]

I can't seem to get the search parameter of search.books to work. I want to search for "Robert" in the authors field, to do this I use:

http://www.goodreads.com/search.xml?k...

But it returns the same data as if I had used:

http://www.goodreads.com/search.xml?k...

Am I doing something wrong or is there an issue with this API?

url you want is something like http://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8=...

[Matt]

Michael, while the url you provided does do the search, and it does get the results I expected, It was an html page. By adding format=xml (and my key) to the query string I was able to get the results back as an XML document.

http://www.goodreads.com/search?q=rob...

Thanks for your help.

Oh, yeah, sorry for not clarifying! REST, etc. :)

Hello!

Is it possible to search among title and author at the same time? I mean, search title "Inferno" by author "Dan Brown"? Or it supports only one query string?

[Ettore]

sorry, there's only one query string. But you can search the same string on both author and title.
