Won't return shelves, even with Oauth

[Stephanie]

Hi,

The "Get the books on a members shelf" endpoint is not returning any books for users who have their profiles set to private.

The docs say: "Viewing members with profiles who have set them as visible to members only or just their friends requires using OAuth."

But I AM using OAuth and it's giving me a 403. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Does anyone have any help here?

My users are all frustrated that they can't see their books any more.

Was there a change to the API?

I have checked your case - I see my private profile and books on the shelves via oauth request

[Nick]

nope. oauth requests have been broken here for quite some time.

Thanks Nick. My users started noticing it about 2-3 months ago (roughly).

The workaround I'm doing is asking them to make their profile public in order to use my app. But it's not ideal, since a lot of them would prefer their profile to stay private.

I've spent hours trying to debug this; glad I am not the only one! I am also using OAuth when requesting reviews and getting the 403 for private users. If anyone figures this out or fixes it, please let me know!!!

I am testing my app on myself and it works for me when using Oauth. My account is set to friends only so I don't know if that makes a difference.

I think you need to update the urls in your oauth requests to use https rather than http. Just did that today in an old app and it fixed the broken oauth issue for me.

Same, thanks for the tip!
