Amzarescu Laurentiu | 3 comments Hello. I try to retrieve a book's reviews using the book.title get method. In the response, I receive an embeded code within an iframe which also contains a link (example: https://www.goodreads.com/api/reviews... ).
My question is: what is the DEVELOPER_ID field? I tried with developer key and secret key but no success so far. The link returns a blank page with no error or any message.
Thank you!

Hmm, I'm pretty sure it is. It's right in the documentation.

Megha (meg04) | 1 comments Do you mean developer keys? You can get your key at below location:

There is no such method. This uri is a part of book.show reply.
Review API is not for public usage.
This url will work without any developer keys and will return a web page.

Review API is not for public usage.


So there is no method for a casual dev to get reviews for a specific book to integrate?

Oleg Linkin (maledictus) | 60 comments You can use review iframe widget from book.show or url from this widget to show reviews. But you haven't access to book reviews for API
