Abebooks Traffic | 3 comments Hi,

At AbeBooks we use the Goodreads rating count information from the Review Count API (https://www.goodreads.com/api/index#b...)

We recently noticed that some of the entries returned in the API call have a negative work_ratings_count. This sounds like a bug as I would never expect a count field to be less than zero.

Example:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/review...

{
"books": [
{
"id": 28891028,
"isbn": "1344974651",
"isbn13": "9781344974653",
"ratings_count": 0,
"reviews_count": 0,
"text_reviews_count": 0,
"work_ratings_count": -1,
"work_reviews_count": 8,
"work_text_reviews_count": 0,
"average_rating": "4.00"
}
]
}

Dear AbeBooks Traffic team,

Thanks so much for finding this issue. It looks like there is a bug on the website for those books as well. I've filed a ticket for it (GR-35610) and our team should follow up when it is fixed.

Regards, Jeff
