Notifications / Groups

[Daniel]

Can we get API access to user notifications and groups?

[Michael]

we have a few groups apis, the documentation isn't done yet.


I guess i could ad an api on notifications, I'll put that on the todo list.

[Daniel]

Thanks!

Any luck on the documentation?

Thanks!

Soon!

The group API has been used by the official iOS app for over a month now, when will the rest of us get access?

[Michael]

They're all busy doing an andriod app :(



The methods are:

group/show/ID.xml - info abotu a group
group/members/ID.xml - show memebers of a group
group/list/ID.xml - show groups a member is in

topic/show/ID.xml - show the threads in a topic
topic/group_folder.xml (not sure what this one is)
topic/unread_group.xml - unread topics in a group


I think they all work with oauth. We'll add these to the docs soon.

If you have any specific questions please reply.

hurrah for android apps!

We added API docs for group stuff recently and i jsut checked in an api for notifications that should be going live very soon (in a couple days).

Is it possible to get the time when user joins a group? Coz, I have checked that goodreads has that information, but does not include it on the api..

Thanks

We shoudl have a created_at node in the group/members call.


That may have been added recently.

It appears that if one wishes to use the group.members call-

'http://www.goodreads.com/group/member...'

that the group must be public which is a bummer. If the group is not public, HTML instead of XML is returned. Are there any plans to change this requirement?

Thanks.

You'll need to use OAuth for non public groups.
