- bwb 3y agoYa, I tested it in the first year and it was worse than publisher data by a wide margin. I will take another look soon to see if it improved. And maybe I can use their data to augment publisher data and improve the overall quality.
- Semaphor 3y agoOuch, okay, that sucks. At least the descriptions I checked were always decent.
- bwb 3y agoYa I didn't test that at the time (more book meta data), that I will look at. I also might be pulling the wrong ONIX data and need to up my license and take on the full HUGE database of books rather than the API I am using.
