I can't seem to get the search parameter of search.books to work. I want to search for "Robert" in the authors field, to do this I use:

http://www.goodreads.com/search.xml?k...

But it returns the same data as if I had used:

http://www.goodreads.com/search.xml?k...

Am I doing something wrong or is there an issue with this API?

url you want is something like http://www.goodreads.com/search?utf8=...

Michael, while the url you provided does do the search, and it does get the results I expected, It was an html page. By adding format=xml (and my key) to the query string I was able to get the results back as an XML document.

Thanks for your help.

Oh, yeah, sorry for not clarifying! REST, etc. :)

Hello!

Is it possible to search among title and author at the same time? I mean, search title "Inferno" by author "Dan Brown"? Or it supports only one query string?

sorry, there's only one query string. But you can search the same string on both author and title.
