Damon Courtney (damonjcourtney) | 1 comments I've been using the API to pull data for a while, and something has always bugged me. If I pull the books for myself (author ID 5722926), using an author_list search, it always tells me I have 0 text reviews on my first book. Even though I actually have 2.

This forces me to fetch each book individually to get the text review count because it actually shows up correctly in an individual book_show query. Worse yet, if I do a straight search by author name (a search_search query), THOSE results correctly show the review count as well.

Why does the author_list show the incorrect count? It's been like this for over a year, so I'm pretty sure I'm not just waiting on something somewhere to update. At least, I REALLY hope not. :)

Hi, thanks for your bug report. I looked at the results from that call and is pretty clear that there is something wrong. I've filed a ticket (internal ticket #IOS-2762) and it should hopefully be fixed at some point.
