Stephanie (anotherstephanie) | 1 comments Hi all,
Are any of you using the UCSD Book Graph in conjunction with your work?
I'm trying to use it to model a certain type of user interaction. Unfortunately, I realized that the scrape's alpahnumeric user_ID does not seem to match Goodreads' numeric user ID (eg, the first "user_id" in the user_id_map is 8842281e1d1347389f2ab93d60773d4d). I'm wondering if these codes are a Goodreads format I'm unfamiliar with, or if these codes were used by the researchers to anonymize users.

I reached out to the UCSD team, but no response yet. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!
