Mosdl | 14 comments So getting a user's friend using this url:

http://www.goodreads.com/friend/user/...

It works sometimes, but often the api returns "must be signed in" for the same userid. Also, once it returns the error, it always returns until I restart the app (which authenticates the user again).

Its the same code being used. This is for code that looks up any goodreads user's friends, not the one that authenticated with my app.

It almost seems as if the app's auth session with the api stops working, but only for getting friends. I can get a user's updates just fine, even when the friends loading stops working.

Any thoughts?

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) I think this might be broken, I'll take a look.

Louise | 36 comments Mosdl, I put a fix in for this. You should be seeing it in the next release (latest, by Monday). Please let me know when this works for you next week in this thread.

Also, your user is OAuthed, right?

Seems to be working fine today is the call is OAuthed, thanks!

btw, what is the correct way to contact Goodreads about commercial api usage, haven't gotten a response for 2 weeks from the contact page.
