Yet another API question (and think I have a bunch more to do...)

On the "Compare books with another member" API the examples I have are pretty limited, but I can see where two active readers with similar tastes could have a bunch of overlapping books.

Most of the other API's have a 50 result limit, and many have some form of paging to access the whole results set.

This API doesn't have any paging documented. Is it there and just undocumented, or missing. If missing does the API return the whole overlap set?

Thanks.

This page (both api and non-api) doesn't allow pagination.

Hi,

About the compare method, can we get the number of books on both of members' shelves in the response?
I can actually bypass this by using the common_count, your_library_percent and their_library_percent elements.
But when there are no books in common, I can only get the other user's library count (using the not_in_common element) but not the app's user's since the percentage is 0.

Can you add the feature to the API?

Thanks

ok, so now we've got not_in_common_count your_library_percent their_library_percent common_count

You're proposing
your_total_books_count
their_total_books_count

Is that right?

Yes, that would be great

I committed this, it should be live in the next day or so.

Works like a charm. Thanks!
