Grunthos | 60 comments Hi,

If I have a book on my shelves, and I make a book.show API call using a book ID, it works fine; and if it is signed it also returns my review details, which is great.

If I call book.show_by_isbn it produces an internal server error.

I can modify my code to call book.isbn_to_id as a work-around, but it's 2 API calls vs 1...

Any help would be appreciated!

Ettore Pasquini Seems to work for me, both as signed in and signed out:

Can you post the actual call you are making?

Grunthos | 60 comments Hi, thanks for the reply.. I did not mean the problem occurred when signed in, I meant when a GET request was signed via OAurh. Or is that what you did?

Louise | 36 comments Calling book.show_by_isbn with an API key or by signed OAuth should both be working.

Grunthos, what did your request look like? Make sure you have a ?format=xml at the end if you sign via OAuth

Grunthos | 60 comments Thanks Louise; it was missing the format=xml. Works fine without it if NOT signed, but seems to require it when signed.

Thanks again!
