The structured data actually only had the first author listed.  You
can double check by viewing the edit history for the work from before
I added the second author.

https://openlibrary.org/books/OL1729544M/Classroom_assessment_techniques

If you try your same API URL again now, you'll see both authors.
Comparing against the web UI should be the first thing you check if
you doubt what the API is telling you.
