small_image URL not displaying

[Maurice]

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but I've come across some books where the Book cover is added in Goodreads but a no cover link is on the xml. The Naruto Series is the example I have here were for some books it is all displayed fine but not for this book for example.

XML page without Developer Key:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn?is...

Book Page:

Hi Maurice,

We get our book data and cover images from a variety of sources. Some of our sources do not allow us to share book cover images via the api. So for some books, you might see book covers on web, but no covers via the api.

Thanks,
Nichole

Hey Nichole,

thank you for the info. Maybe that is something that should be put as a small note on the API site for others who use the API.

Thanks :)
