  • org.passingreads.book.registrationHint

    record

    A hint for which publication this book is, so that registration is especiall.

  • org.passingreads.book.getPublicationBooks

    query

    List every dropped book copy that shares a publicationId. Unlike searchBooks this does not de-duplicate — the publication detail page wants every individual copy so the user can see exactly how many are out there and where.

  • ink.resenha.book.resolve

    query not from the namespace authority

    Every key Resenha's index knows for a book, and its other editions, from one key: a BookHive ID, an ISBN-13, an Amazon number or an Open Library work. Learned from BookHive's catalogue, readers' own links between their records in different apps, and Open Library. Public, no sign-in: any book app can fill the slots its records leave empty, such as Popfeed's hiveId or BookHive's ISBN. Answers come from the index alone; nothing is asked of any catalogue for them.

  • buzz.bookhive.getBookIdentifiers

    query

    Resolve book identifiers by hiveId, isbn, isbn13, or goodreadsId. Does not require authentication.
