External APIs
Open Library API
- Purpose: Search for books by title, author, or ISBN to populate book metadata
- Documentation: https://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/search
- Base URL(s): https://openlibrary.org
- Authentication: None (public API, no API key required)
- Rate Limits: ~100 requests per 5 minutes (unofficial limit, respect fair use)
Key Endpoints Used:
GET /search.json?q={query}- Search for books by keyword, returns title, author, pages, cover IDs
Cover Images:
- Base URL:
https://covers.openlibrary.org/b/id/{cover_id}-{size}.jpg - Sizes: S (small), M (medium), L (large)
- Example:
https://covers.openlibrary.org/b/id/8233808-M.jpg
Integration Notes:
- Cache search results for 1 hour to reduce API calls
- Implement exponential backoff if rate limited (429 response)
- Fallback to manual entry if API unavailable
- Extract
number_of_pages_medianor firstnumber_of_pagesvalue for total pages - Some books may not have cover images (use placeholder)
- Consider Google Books API as backup if Open Library quality is insufficient
