author_url.xml returns "Page not found"

[Toni]

The API method author.books is broken. The sample url returns message "Page not found":

http://www.goodreads.com/api/author_u...

Your URL doesn't look quite right...the sample URL I see on the API documentation page is: http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/...

and i get a valid response.

In the link you posted, I see "author_url" in place of the author id, and id= as a url param. Those don't look right. You sure you took that url from the API doc page?

I think the url you might want to try is this one: http://www.goodreads.com/author/list/...

Can you check if you're still having the same problem? We did do a release between when you reported this and right now, so it's possible we fixed it....

Toni's talking about the "search.authors" method which allows you to find an author by name. It's still definitely not working. Do you have any idea when it might be fixed?

Adam, can you please show us an example request that's breaking? You can omit your developer key.

You can reply in the thread dedicated to search.authors.
