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.
I'm building an improved reading list for myself. The details of my project are here:
