Show HN: I made a site to help you find good nonfiction books

• cqcn1991 9y ago
  Hi, anyone enjoys reading nonfictions (e.g. business, social science, biography and others) here? I enjoy reading them a lot, because I can always learn a lot from them. However, a lot of books on Amazon simply do not have good ratings, and sometimes I need to spend a long time to find a good book to read. so I collect the data from Amazon and apply some filter and made this site. The books being displayed are with good review stats. I hope this is helpful for you to find some good books.

    Very cool! When you say you "collect the data from Amazon," are you scraping this or using an API? If the latter, which API and where can I go to read about it? I also would love to be able to query this kind of information from Amazon.

      I scrape the data. The API from Amazon seems not very informative.
