API Getting Started Not Working - Am I Missing Something?

[Michael]

Which url?

[Michael]

this one? http://www.goodreads.com/api/book_url...

Same for me. This should be super simple, but its not working for me.

I have a url: https://www.goodreads.com/api/keys
That has as content:
key: numbersandletters
secret: longersequenceofnumbersandletters

I copied the key and put it in your example url:
http://www.goodreads.com/api/book_url...

so the url in my curl request is:
http://www.goodreads.com/api/book_url...

but I get page not found as well. Does the API key take some time before its active? Not sure what I am missing

Hi Dean and Benjamin:

It turns out that the API in the example was a very old API (circa 2007) that we no longer support. I've updated the example to an API that current does work. Thanks for letting us know!
