So, I see you haven't done anything with this for a few of years, but maybe you can help me. I'd like to find an audible API that will let me collect reviews and ratings on audible.com for books by certain authors or narrators. Do you know if such an API exists? I'm not having any luck finding it. -- Cat

Now that Amazon owns Audible, you can probably use the Amazon API to search for books (audio is just another format) and get reviews. But I don't know if the ratings shown in Audible are available via the API.

The terminology Amazon uses can be a little awkward, but those services let you search Amazon products - which should include audio books. You have to sign up for a free developer account.

That's your best bet - aside from rolling your own screen scraper like I did. :)
