ISBN not returned in search?

[Christopher]

Is there a particular reason that the ISBN of a book is not returned when a search is done against search.books? I would like to be able to compare the ISBN based on existing books I already have logged by title and see if they match but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this.

Thanks!

No particular reason beside wanting to keep the api response small. Adding this should be easy though: I'll file an internal ticket for this. I don't know when we'll get to it though.

For now, you can get the ISBN of a book by querying the book.show end point: https://www.goodreads.com/api/index#b...

Can I +1 this one as well? This is frustrating for me. And yes, I know you can call other end points, but with a 1 call per second limit, there's almost no point.

If I want to perform a search based off of title string, and I have 10 results, I'm making 11 calls for a list of 10 books with ISBNs.
