This is quite nice! Now that I know there's an overdrive API maybe I will pitch adding a functionality like this to Open library :)
Or would also be nice if your app supported an openlibrary.org list and checked against that!
- bellamk 3y agoThanks! I hadn’t heard of open library before but it seems pretty cool - what’s an open library list? Are you also able to track books you’re interested in there?
- raybb 3y agoA list is just what it sounds like, a set of works or editions. But OL also has the concept of "reading log" which is specific lists that are read/reading/want to read that are preset for people. You can learn more about lists in general here https://openlibrary.org/lists https://openlibrary.org/lists This is a list I created recently titled "Understanding the Latin American City" https://openlibrary.org/people/raybb/lists/OL235745L/Understanding_the_Latin_American_City https://openlibrary.org/people/raybb/lists/OL235745L/Underst... If you want to access the api for lists the docs are at https://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/lists https://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/lists but it's also as easy as tacking .json to the end of a url like so: https://openlibrary.org/people/crowmax22/lists/OL226172L/editions.json https://openlibrary.org/people/crowmax22/lists/OL226172L/edi...
