Adolfo (fitomad) | 3 comments Requesting API for "El Instituto" (spanish version of Stephen King's The Institute) returned the US book information instead of spanish related information.

The ES information exists (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...)

Oleg Linkin (maledictus) | 60 comments Please, show you api request. I have and idea that you use invalid book id

Adolfo (fitomad) | 3 comments Hi Oleg!

You will find the Spanish hardcover edition in the publisher information web page:

https://www.megustaleer.com/libros/el...

ISBN -> 9788401022357

I tried two things:

1. Endpoint to obtain a Goodreads ID from an ISBN code

https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn_t...

This request returns the code: 49367277

Then, making a request to this endpoint return the United States information about the book, not the Spanish one

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show.x...

2. Endpoint to obtain book data from an ISBN

https://www.goodreads.com/book/isbn/9...

Those operations doesn't returns the same info as Goodreads webpage does

Oleg Linkin (maledictus) | 60 comments hmm. It looks like a bug. I see, the there is a description in correct language but API returns default description in English.
