Robert Cain continues a series on book archival:
This is part of my ongoing series on my ArcaneBooks project. The goal is to provide a module to retrieve book data via provided web APIs. In the SEE ALSO section later in this post I’ll provide links to previous posts which cover the background of the project, as well as how to use the OpenLibrary APIs to get data based on the ISBN.
In this post I will provide an overview of using the Library of Congress API to get data based on the LCCN, short for Library of Congress Control Number.
This has been an interesting series to watch, as it’s a practical application of non-work use of a series of practical development skills.
