Dear all, When I use OAuth request to request a recommendation by url https://www.goodreads.com/recommendat... , I meet an error "No unauthorised error".

But I use the same logic to request uses' friends successfully, Can anyone help me to figure out this bug ?

Thanks very much.

Hi Zhang,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble. It sounds like the Oauth authentication might not be working.

Are you using an Oauth library to make the request?

yes, request of users' friends also need Oauth authentication, and I can successfully request the friends' page. But I use same program to request recommendation by a recommendation id, I got the 'Unauthorized error".

Is it possible that "recommendation.show" has some bugs?

Thanks very much.

Hi Zhang,

The recommendation.show method appears to be working. Is authenticated user authorized to see the recommendation you are requesting?
