Crate openlibrary_rs
source · [−]Expand description
Wrapper for Openlibrary’s Web API
Overview
PLEASE NOTE: this crate is currently in an experimental stage. Meaning expect frequent, large breaking changes from version to version until we are in a stable state.
There are currently 8 sub APIs offered by Openlibrary’s Web API. You can check the table below to see the status of each.
Books
You can view information about books by Works, Editions, and ISBN ids by using the books::Books struct
use openlibrary_rs::books::{BookType, BooksBuilder};
// execute request to Works API and pretty print debug of result
let books = BooksBuilder::default()
.book_type(BookType::Works)
.id("OL45883W")
.build()
.unwrap();
println!("{:#?}", books.execute());Search
You can search for books, authors, and more using the search::Search struct
use openlibrary_rs::search::SearchBuilder;
// execute search and pretty print debug of first result
let search = SearchBuilder::default()
.query("the lord of the rings")
.build()
.unwrap();
println!("{:#?}", search.execute().docs[0]);Everything excluding the generic Books API is complete(i.e. Works, Editions, and ISBN APIs are done). ↩
