Api method is not working‏

[Sobh]

I have tried book.isbn_to_id along with its url and following error appears:

This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

What possibly can be the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Sobh, that api looks broken. I'll file a ticket to investigate on/fix it.

[Ettore]

actually, upon further investigation it seems like the api works but reports an incorrect MIME type (application/xml, while it should be plain text). In fact, the HTTP status code of the sample URL is 200 in my testing.

I still filed a ticket to fix the response MIME type.

Thank you Ettore. For looking into this matter. Can you suggest me any other way of getting 'Goodreads internal book ids'?

[Michael]

if you add a url parameter "&format=xml" does that fix it?

[Ettore]

Sobh, by the way, what i meant in my previous message is that the api does return the Goodreads book_id in the response payload. Just parse the returned data as plain text instead of XML. The only data returned is the book id, with no XML markup.

Oh, ignore my suggestion then, thanks Ettore.
