Rúnar | 1 comments Hello,

I'm building an improved reading list for myself. The details of my project are here:
http://blog.higher-order.com/blog/201...

At the moment, I need to make an API call for each book to get its rating_dist. Is it possible to get that statistic in bulk for a list of books?

Also, it would be really helpful if we could get a histogram of all book ratings on Goodreads, or at least some overall statistics. Like what is the average book rating on Goodreads? And what's the average avg_rating? What is the standard deviation of avg_ratings? I'd like to use this information to build a prior that I can use in statistical analysis.

Thank you!

Rúnar

Ettore Pasquini Hi there, sorry it's not possible to get the statistics in bulk. Similarly for all the other aggregates, sorry, that's not possible either.
