Get info about a member by id or username

[Gregg]

I was trying to figure out what the syntax to do a look up by username and discovered the following, which might help someone in the future


To look up by username use http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/?k...
Alternate format for look up by id is http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/?k...
Will work with both username and user id as parameters
If both username and user id are present but don't represent the same user, the user id takes precedence.

Can usernames have spaces in them? Or anything else that might need URL encoding?

Usernames cannot have spaces. Other fields can of course.
