Michael (surfermikel) | 10 comments The api for following a user seems a little odd, with a : in the middle of the url. I'm having a bit of trouble getting it to work and before I try to figure out why I just wanted to make sure the posted URL example is accurate. Thanks.

Follow a user
Start following a user using OAuth. You'll need to register your app (required).
url: http://www.goodreads.com/user/:user_i...
http method: POST
params:

id: Goodreads user id of user to follow

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) This is unclear, you'res supposed to substitute the user id you want to follow into that url (replacing ":user_id"). Sorry this is unclear, and rather inconsistent.
