Browsing friend trees
ivanoblomov opened this issue · comments
Are you guys planning on adding friends to your ruby wrapper? Goodreads implements it in HTTP with...
http://www.goodreads.com/api#user.friends
I looked through your specs and found no obvious way to ask for a list of friends. If you're not planning on implementing friends, add a spec for how the API call should work and I'll see if I can get my hands dirty.
Cheers!
Should be pretty easy to extend, check the https://github.com/sosedoff/goodreads/blob/master/lib/goodreads/client/users.rb file.
You can just add a new method friends, or even move all friend-related functionality to a separate module. Id prefer second.
I've got most of the code done, but can't get OAuth to work right programmatically.
For example, if I get "http://www.goodreads.com/oauth/authorize?oauth_token=XXXX" from RestClient or HTTParty, I get 401 unauthorized errors.
But if I cut and paste that URL into a browser and then make the requests, everything works fine—but that kind of defeats the whole purpose of using the gem!
Do you guys have a good workaround?

Scoured the Web and looks like there's no way around it: you have to grant OAuth access with a browser. Must be a security thang.
