Goodreads Developers discussion

Hello,

I'm hoping to build an app to compare different books using their shelves/tags. In some of the book/show calls the popular shelves are included.

2 questions:
- Is there a reason some books do have the popular shelves, and some don't?
- Could there be a call to get all, or at least more than most popular 10 shelves of a book?

Thanks!

Hi Peter, I can answer your first question. There is a minimum threshold that has to be met for shelvings before a shelf can be declared "popular."

To answer your 2nd question, we're not planning to expand the current book/show api. (We might in the future, though.)

Thanks for the answers.
