Hello,

Can we get the image_url for the user in the api/auth_user response? This would help use one less API call to get the photo and display it for the user since the first call.

Thanks!

Understood, thanks!

Here it is




(I liked the first "readstatus" update on GoodReads but there is no "liked" tag, nor an ID to be able to like it using the API)

I just tried out the updates.friends and user.show method for updates and had two issues:
- there is no id field for the updates (unless it's the integer at the end of the url)
- I did not get the tag for updates I already liked through the website

Can you help?

Great. Thank you!

Hi

In your API you provide a way to like and a way to unlike a resource, but you do not provide a way to know if the user has already liked tge resource (let's say a friend's status update) in order to provide him the choice to unlike it; am I missing something?

Hi. Please send me an email (you can find my address on the about screen of the app) so I can send you instructions for an alternative login method.

Thanks!"

I just resubmitted the app. It should show up in the Malaysian market within a couple of hours.

That's odd, I will look into it.

Great thank you!

Hello,
Can we please have an exhaustive list of the different notification types delivered through the API along with the tags (ie resource_type and group_resource_type fields)?
Thanks

I tried to get through to you guys twice in the last month but I couldn't. Can you help?

Okay, I have submitted my app. Thanks for your reply.

Hi
Any advance on the issue? It's breaking our apps and we haven't even been notified about the changes.
Can't you make something like a white list similar to the reviews API?

Glad you like it Cristina!
Do send me feedback at my support email if you have any suggestions :)

Subject updated!

Social Reads now supports Windows8 and WindowsRT

Hi Ettore,

I came up with a workaround by reversing the order of the comments/pages downloaded in the comments.list method, and saving as much as I can downloaded comments from the review.show response.

No more need to put any extra work into this, at least for me.
Thanks!

Hi,
Is it possible to reverse the order of the comments order in the comments.list method? So that it could be the same order as the comments listed in the review.show method.

I already tried to add a "order=a" and "order=d" parameter but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Great, thanks!

Pinch as in move your fingers closer together, on a page different than the main page (not on the what's new view). Try it in the "Me" page. The text shouldn't zoom at all.
