Google Books API Wrapper for Python

This package wraps the Google Books API in an easy to use Python interface. Use it to find comprehensive data on all books that peak your interest.

then import the required configuration object,

from google_books_api_wrapper.api import GoogleBooksAPI

You can now use this object to search and retreive books,

>>> client = GoogleBooksAPI()

>>> client.get_book_by_title("IT")
Book(title=It, authors=['Stephen King'])

>>> client.get_book_by_isbn13("9780670813025")
Book(title=It, authors=['Stephen King'])

>>> client.get_book_by_isbn10("0670813028")
Book(title=It, authors=['Stephen King'])

>>> simon_schuster_books = client.get_books_by_publisher("Simon & Schuster")
>>> simon_schuster_books.get_all_results()[:3]
[Book(title=Simon & Schuster's Guide to Dogs, authors=['Gino Pugnetti']), Book(title=Frankenstein, authors=['Mary Shelley']), Book(title=Why We Buy, authors=['Paco Underhill'])]

>>> fiction_books = client.get_books_by_subject("Fiction")

[Book(title=Lord of the Flies, authors=['William Golding']), Book(title=Amish Snow White, authors=['Rachel Stoltzfus']), Book(title=The Odyssey of Homer, authors=['Richmond Lattimore'])]
