Add review API not working

[David]

Up until very recently I could add a review for a book using http://www.goodreads.com/review.xml (passing parameters book_id, shelf, review[rating:], review[review:] (the text), and review[read_at:]). This suddenly stopped working (and is no longer documented on http://www.goodreads.com/api): it returns "500 server error" (logging in, getting the "current user" name, and looking up the book to get its Goodreads ID still work fine).

There is also no replacement/equivalent listed in the API - no way to add a book review. There is a way to update an existing review, but that doesn't work here since a new review has no review ID.

Please fix the http://www.goodreads.com/review.xml API (and document it).

Sorry about that, I'll look into it promptly.

This will be fixed in the next release.

You guys are quick with releases (Agile methods?): it works now. Much appreciated.

Sometimes we can be TOO agile... and by "we" I of course mean "I".

[Michael]

no qa department = lots of releases

I think thats part of the agile methodology, the customer does the qa?

I might apply to work with you guys if you weren't in Cali. Seems like an interesting site to build and run.
