Bruce Fulton (brucefulton) | 9 comments It doesn't seem there is any way to get book info in a XML REST type return using the good reads ID.
For example, currently, a query can be constructed that returns an xml file with book data using the ISBN, for example:

http://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn?is...

However ideally what I would like to do is retrieve that result set using the goodreads ID, for example

http://www.goodreads.com/book/id?id=6...

Or is there another way to do that that I'm missing?

Grunthos | 60 comments I may be misunderstanding your question, but I think book.show does it.

Louise | 36 comments Hi Bruce, Grunthos is right. Can you try using the book.show method outlined here?

http://www.goodreads.com/api#book.show

For your example, your request would be:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62...
