Feature Request: Add reader to API

[fakerybakery]

Hi,
Thanks for releasing the LibriVox API! Would it be possible to add the reader ID to the API?
Thanks!

Hello!
If I'm assuming your use-case correctly, I think we already do have the reader ID where you'd need it. If you're calling the api/feed/audiobooks endpoint with ?extended=1, then each "book" item will include a list of audio sections. Each section, in turn, will display a list of readers, with a name (which may change in future) and an ID (which will not).

Here's an example, with some omissions:

<book>
 <title>The Count of Monte Cristo</title>
 <sections>
  <section>
   <id>121010</id>
   <section_number>1</section_number>
   <title>Marseilles–The Arrival </title>
   <listen_url>
    https://www.archive.org/download/count_monte_cristo_0711_librivox/count_of_monte_cristo_001_dumas_64kb.mp3
   </listen_url>
   <language>English</language>
   <playtime>1179</playtime>
   <file_name/>
   <readers>
    <reader>
     <reader_id>14</reader_id>
     <display_name>LibriVoxer 14</display_name>
    </reader>
   </readers>
  </section>
 </sections>
</book>

Might look a little prettier in json, but hey, tack on an &format=json, and enjoy!

If you meant something else, do please let me know. Otherwise, I'll mark this one as closed after a while.

Thank you so much @redrun45! Yes, that was what I was looking for.
