Search for own books

[Karsten]

From the web-page it is possible to search 'my books'. However, when looking at the API, I can only find a general search for books.
Am I missing something or does the API not offer this functionality?
Thank you.

It works the same as the my books page:
http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/...


The search[query] parameter will allow you to search.

[Karsten]

Just so I understand.

You don't have a call similar to search.xml where you get some XML back. You have to call an URL and parse the returning HTML?

Another comment. If I search for 'Agent 6' the book is found on my to-read shelf. If I search for the isbn (9780446550765) no book is found, but I'm told that a book matches 9780446550765, which funny enough is 'Agent 6' which I have on my shelf.

Can you only search for titles?

[Michael]

No, you use the same search api xml method, and add that parameter to it.


I think only title and author name searches work there.
