institutions, and all other organizations, which professionally work with books, need a reliable source of information to retrieve data about thousands or even millions of books. This is when bibliographic databases come in very handy. Using the databases’ APIs, you can quickly get titles, authors, cover art, and a lot of other book data by ISBN. Book databases enable members of the book industry to operate more efficiently and better serve their customers.<span id="more-70"></span></p> <ul> <li><strong><a href="#1">What are the Best Ways to Use the Databases?</a></strong></li> <li><strong><a href="#2">Which Database is the Best?</a></strong> <ul> <li><strong><a href="#3">Bowker</a></strong></li> <li><strong><a href="#4">Amazon Books</a></strong></li> <li><strong><a href="#5">Google Books</a></strong></li> <li><strong><a href="#6">Open Library</a></strong></li> <li><strong><a href="#7">ISBNdb</a></strong></li> </ul> </li> <li><strong><a href="#8">Niche Databases</a></strong></li> </ul> <p><a name="1"></a></p> <h2>What are the Best Ways to Use the Databases?</h2> <p>If you need information on one or just a few specific books, you can quickly find the data via a web interface like the one on our website – just enter the <a href="https://isbndb.com/blog/history-of-the-isbn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ISBN number</a> of the book in question into the search field, and there you are:</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-71" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/isbndb_book_database-1024x520.png" alt="Book Databases" width="1024" height="520" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/book-databases/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Book Databases Guide: Obtaining Book Data via ISBN Number" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/isbndb_book_database-1024x520.png" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/isbndb_book_database-1024x520.png 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/isbndb_book_database-300x152.png 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/isbndb_book_database-768x390.png 768w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/isbndb_book_database-1536x780.png 1536w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/isbndb_book_database.png 1694w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure> <p>However, if you need to regularly get data on thousands or even millions of books, you’d better use <a href="https://isbndb.com/blog/book-api/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book APIs</a>.</p> <p>With the help of such an API, you can automate the retrieval of up-to-date <a href="https://isbndb.com/blog/what-is-book-metadata/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">book metadata</a> for your applications and websites. By interacting with the APIs you receive <strong>XML</strong> or <strong>JSON</strong> files with the author name, book title, publisher, genre, subject, cover art, book reviews, price, and other book information for the ISBNs you’ve included in the API request.</p> <p>To get data on maths textbooks or books by writers of the Lost Generation, for example, you’ll need to query an API with ISBNs of the corresponding books. The API will send you a file with the author, prices, edition, weight, and a lot of other information for the requested books.</p> <p><a href="https://isbndb.com/isbn-database?utm_source=isbndb-blog&utm_medium=34-mln-isbns-and-growing&utm_campaign=second-small-banner" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-671" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/the-largest-book-database-1024x147.jpg" alt="the largest book database" width="1024" height="147" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/book-databases/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Book Databases Guide: Obtaining Book Data via ISBN Number" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/the-largest-book-database-1024x147.jpg" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/the-largest-book-database-1024x147.jpg 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/the-largest-book-database-300x43.jpg 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/the-largest-book-database-768x110.jpg 768w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/the-largest-book-database.jpg 1480w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a></p> <p><a name="2"></a></p> <h2>Which Database is the Best?</h2> <p>There’s no clear-cut answer to this question because it depends on your requirements for a book database. However, hopefully, the article will provide you with enough information on the book databases so that you can choose the one that suits you best.</p> <p>Book databases pull data from hundreds of sources, including publishers, merchants, libraries, and many others. For example, our crawlers add tens of thousands of data records to the ISBNdb book database daily.</p> <p>There are both paid and free options for accessing book data, please find below an overview of popular book databases:</p> <p><a name="3"></a></p> <h3>Bowker</h3> <p>Bowker is one of the market leaders. Their book database includes data from LibraryThing and other partners. Bowker offers APIs, data feeds, and plug-and-play options for delivering data.

A huge lot of books. They provide Product Advertising API, which is intended for developers who build e-commerce websites that sell items listed on Amazon.com, or applications that help others build such websites. The API itself is free, however, to register for the API, you must have an Amazon Associates account, via which you have referred qualified sales.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-76 size-full" style="border: 1px solid #4209F6;" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/amazon-api.png" alt="Product Advertising API" width="1873" height="857" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/book-databases/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Book Databases Guide: Obtaining Book Data via ISBN Number" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/amazon-api.png" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/amazon-api.png 1873w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/amazon-api-300x137.png 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/amazon-api-1024x469.png 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/amazon-api-768x351.png 768w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/amazon-api-1536x703.png 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1873px) 100vw, 1873px" /></p> <p><strong>Books supported: </strong>Unknown, definitely a huge number</p> <p><strong>API: </strong>Available</p> <p><strong>Cover art</strong>: Available</p> <p><strong>Pricing data:</strong> Available</p> <p><strong>Free access:</strong> Available</p> <p><strong>Service fees: </strong>Amazon does not charge for using its API, but there are certain conditions incurred</p> <p><a name="5"></a></p> <h3>Google Books</h3> <p>Google has accumulated a substantial database of book information. And the nicest thing about it is that API access is free, although some data access may be restricted because Google licenses much of the data they use to power Google Books and may not distribute it at their own discretion. Read the terms carefully before you start using the API. For instance, you may not charge users for the use of your application, unless you’ve entered into a separate agreement with Google or received Google’s written permission.</p> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-77 size-full" style="border: 1px solid #4209F6;" src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/google-books-api.png" alt="Google Books api" width="1875" height="686" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt="" data-jpibfi-post-url="https://isbndb.com/blog/book-databases/" data-jpibfi-post-title="Book Databases Guide: Obtaining Book Data via ISBN Number" data-jpibfi-src="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/google-books-api.png" srcset="https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/google-books-api.png 1875w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/google-books-api-300x110.png 300w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/google-books-api-1024x375.png 1024w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/google-books-api-768x281.png 768w, https://isbndb.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/google-books-api-1536x562.png 1536w" sizes="(max-width: 1875px) 100vw, 1875px" /></p><div class='mailmunch-forms-in-post-middle' style='display: none !important;'></div> <p><strong>Books supported: </strong>40+ million</p> <p><strong>API: </strong>Available</p> <p><strong>Cover art</strong>: Available</p> <p><strong>Pricing data:</strong> Available</p> <p><strong>Free access:</strong> Available</p> <p><strong>Service fees: </strong>Google does not charge any fees for access to Google Books API, however, certain conditions apply</p> <p><a name="6"></a></p> <h3>Open Library</h3> <p>Being a nonprofit project from Internet Archive, Open Library offers a way to browse and read books for free.

Please find below a few examples:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Penguin Random House</strong>. As the name suggests, you can use this database to get information about the books published by PRH (you need to be their B2B partner).</li> <li><strong>The New York Times Best Sellers</strong>. It is the perfect match If you only need information about New York Times best-sellers.</li> <li><strong>Bookshare</strong>. This service provides books to people with reading barriers like dyslexia, learning disabilities, visual impairments, and others.</li> <li><strong>Digital Bibliography Library Project (</strong><a href="https://dblp.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><strong>DBLP</strong></a><strong>).</strong> It maintains open bibliographic information on major computer science journals.</li> <li><strong>The Web of Science</strong> is a huge repository of data, analytics, insights, workflow tools, and professional services for the research community.</li> <li><strong>ScienceDirect</strong> allows access to a vast collection of academic journals, books, and works in the fields of science, technology, and medicine.</li> <li><strong>The Merriam-Webster Dictionary API</strong> is a comprehensive source of dictionary and thesaurus content.</li> </ul> <h2>The Final Thoughts</h2> <p>Despite numerous options, it may be quite tricky to obtain quality book data. Free options often have incomplete information, provide data to specific types of organizations or impose certain conditions like sales referrals, etc.</p> <p>ISBNdb offers access to a huge book database of over 33 million titles at a very competitive price, with a free trial and the ability to cancel the subscription at any time. Transparent pricing policy. No need to wait for approvals – just a short registration process and you are good to go.
