Running into an issue following the Ruby tutorial

[Thomas]

Hi there,

I'm trying to follow the ruby tutorial on how to use OAuth, but when I get to the part where I write the code to add a review for a specific book I run into trouble, specifically with parsing the URI they give us:

http://www.goodreads.com/api/book_url...

(replacing YOUR_KEY with my key of course) All I get is a "The page you have requested doesn't exist" page, what's causing this?

Hi Thomas,

What Ruby tutorial are you referring to?

That doesn't look like a valid URL. Perhaps it was when the tutorial was written.

The way to search for books by title is this:

https://www.goodreads.com/api/index#s...

Ah thanks Jeff, I'll give the way you linked a try.

The tutorial I was following was this one: https://www.goodreads.com/api/oauth_e...

The part in question is under the heading "Adding a Review"

I suspect those docs are old... I can't find the /api/book_url endpoint in our current docs. I filed a ticket to fix it (IOS-2995).

For the time being, i'd do what Jeff suggested, and use the search endpoint instead of the /api/book_url endpoint.
