Scraping book data from the web #24

Open aly76 opened 4 years ago

We would like the ability to automatically populate the descriptive fields of a book by retrieving the information from the web.

The user supplies an ISBN or title and this should be sufficient to scrape related data from the web.

You can use the Google Book API: https://developers.google.com/books/docs/overview a simple GET https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=isbn:<your_isbn_here> will give you most of the information
