Grunthos | 60 comments Hi,

I recently asked about uploading an entire library via the APIs, which would take approcimately 3 API calls per book in my library (or about 3000 calls). This translates to more than 45 minutes with the 1 call/second rule. And it gets worse assuming there is more than one user (which there will be).

A solution was to use the CSV upload...but that does not seem to work in the API. I have tried creating and signing the multi-part form POST message using OAuth, but the result is just the standard 'Sign Up' page.

Is there any way to upload a number of books at once programmatically?

Would it be possible for goodreads to accept OAuth authentication for file upload & download?

Any suggestions would be welcome!

Michael Economy (michaeleconomy) We don't have anything in the api currently. Some day we may add something.
