Classify Web Service Bug

We wanted to let the community know that a recent install introduced a bug in the Classify web service. Typically the web service allows developers to send in a search by ISBN. This parameter is currently broken in the web service.

So the following request will fail:

http://classify.oclc.org/classify2/Classify?isbn=0679442723

with a response of

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classify xmlns="http://classify.oclc.org">
<!--Classify is a product of OCLC Online Computer Library Center: http://classify.oclc.org-->
<input type="noParam">null</input>
<response code="100"/>
</classify>

We will update you when we have a date for the fix to be installed. In the interim the Standard number index can also be used to search for an ISBN.

Example:

http://classify.oclc.org/classify2/Classify?stdnbr=0679442723

Please Contact Us if you have any questions.
