goodreads-api

A quick PHP wrapper class for the GoodReads API., _(*1)

Disclaimer

This is something I hacked together quickly, it isn't beautiful, and as you'll see I only implemented one API endpoint (the only one I needed). However it's a good starting point, and from a cursory glance implementing other methods wouldn't be particularly tricky. Caching support is also baked in., _(*2)

Please also bear in mind the GoodReads API itself isn't great (some methods for example only support XML!), you can read/comment on that in their forums., _(*3)

Requirements

• PHP 5.3.x or higher
• cURL
• GoodReads API key

Available methods

• author.show
• reviews.list
• user.show

Usage

1. Include class
2. Initialise wrapper $api = new GoodReads('PUT YOUR API KEY HERE', 'writable directory for caching');
3. Call a method $data = $api->getLatestReads(4148474);
