Nikko (nodiseos) | 9 comments Hi. We are seeing a bug with the iframe widget where frequently a book will have some reviews, but none or onlyy some of them show up.

For example:
- This book has several reviews > 4 stars but nothing is returned: http://www.goodreads.com/api/reviews_...

We saw several like this, some where less reviews were being returned that should have been.

I know ratings do not appear, I am talking about actual reviewd books of 4 stars or greater.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Louise | 36 comments Hi Nikko, not all reviews will be shown through the API. We give users the choice to opt out of having their reviews shown to partners (through our API).

You can find the option here:
http://www.goodreads.com/user/edit?ta...
[ checkbox ] allow partners of Goodreads to display my reviews

People who have checked that box will still have their reviews shown on our book page, but not through the reviews widget.
