Always get Not Authorized

[Pa]

Hi,

I'm trying to get owned books for a user and I always get "not authorized" header.

Url is: http://www.goodreads.com/owned_books/...

I even tried on some other URLs which doesn't require OAuth, and get the same 401 error. Any idea?

I don't know the answer, but I wonder if, since the other 3 owned_books API's all require OAuth, if this API likely does too.

As for other URLs which don't require OAuth, have you tried the sample URL links after you are logged in? Took me a little while to realize the sample URL changes from point to the API page to actual data only after you are logged in and have API keys.

It looks like you need to be signed in (i.e. authenticated) to view the XML response of that API, even if you are using key based authorization. This may be a bug, we'll investigate.

Current workaround: use OAuth, as Gregg suggested.
