Only getting few reviews not all the reviews.

[Harshil]

i want to get all review of a book.
When i write "http://www.goodreads.com/review/show...." ........ and changing the page values still getting the same xml file each time. am i doing something wrong?

[Michael]

thats getting review with id 0143417231

the page parameter in this context refers to the comments.


i think the api endpoint you want is:
http://www.goodreads.com/api#book.sho...


It's worth mentioning: we don't give out full reviews in our api however.

So i can recommend better, what sort of integration are you building?

@michael Thanks for the help.. actually i am building a automated reviewing system as an undergrad project that will fetch reviews from your api and analyze them and give polarity between 0-6 , so user will have better understanding and also if they want they can rad the reviews too.... and using the method you showed i am able get the iframe but i actully need the comments to analyze...plz help me...

[Michael]

You're trying to fetch the comments on the reviews?

[Harshil]

no.... i mean i need to fetch the reviews (200+ preferable).....

[Michael]

I'm pretty sure that we only show the first 140 characters of each review. Unfortunately we're not giving out full reviews right now.

[Harshil]

ohk,,, thats fine .. but how many reviews i can fetch at max for a specific book? and are you planning to provide full review in future?

[Michael]

i think you can pass a few paramaters:

per_page=100 (100 is the max)
page=2 (you can page through the first 100 pages typically)


We might in the future provide full text on a case by case basis.
