Re: [VuFind-General] Book reviews from GoogleBooks

[Filipe MS B. (UA) <fs...@ua...>]

Hi, Andrea!

Had looked at that some time ago...

>From what I've read (Google GData Books API and other resources - for
instances, http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-gbookapi/index.html),
it is possible to ADD reviews (REST requests / JSON responses), but didn't
find a reference or mention to retrieve reviews method...

I must say that, although didn't give up trying to implement that solution,
I lowered its priority as many of the books I've sample searched did have no
reviews at all...

Btw, in the new API (
http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/books/docs/v1/getting_started.html), I
am not finding a reference for even to add a review operation  (I've seen
that at the Google GData Books API, deprecated as of May 26, this year:
http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/books/docs/gdata/developers_guide_protocol.html).
The new API seems to be fully focused on the user (libraries), not on the
book itself, as we need it.

All the best,

Filipe

PS. was about to "CCing" this message to vufind-tech, ML but I guess all of
vufind-tech recipients are also here in this mailing list.
