Bug with APIv2?

[SylvainMartel]

Hi,

While using libbgg.apiv2 and running this command bgg.boardgame(11040, stats=True, ratingcomments=False) I get this result(which is wrong since no data seems to be returned):

{'items': {'termsofuse': 'http://boardgamegeek.com/xmlapi/termsofuse'}}

Using libbgg.apiv1 , it works perfectly. Same with using the BGG XML APIv2 directly: https://www.boardgamegeek.com/xmlapi2/thing?id=11040

Bug in the library? Should I stick to APIv1 for the moment?

Result with v1(works fine): conn.get_game(11040 , stats=True)

no matter, I just found out the bug is in the BGG XML API2 itself.

This query works, and it should not since it's a boardgameexpansion https://www.boardgamegeek.com/xmlapi2/search?query=Armies%20of%20Oblivion&type=boardgame
