How can I looki up editions of a book using the Amazon Product Advertising API?


Is there a way to look up the various editions of a book based on its ISBN using the Amazon Product Advertising API?

And, more generally, what are the various choices for looking up edition metadata on a book? Only one I know of for sure is the xISBN api from worldcat

On my site we have a "more editions" button for when people search for books.. so I'd be making a lot of queries (and cacheing them).


Solution

  • Take a look at https://sourceforge.net/projects/isbntools/files/latest/download. The command isbn editions ISBN will give you what you want...

    If you are a developer you have https://pypi.python.org/pypi/isbntools.
