Project News

Our improved crawlers added over 1 million new ISBNs in the last 2 months, and our database is now over 21 million unique books and growing daily.

We fixed an issue with API key generation for new accounts, and some bugs related to canceling and switching account plans.

9 APIs for the geekiest of programmers

https://www.hpe.com/us/en/insights/articles/9-apis-for-the-geekiest-1905.html

The new ISBNdb API 2.0 has more features and functionality, including bulk data searches of up to 1,000 books per call, new filters and endpoints that allow for advanced searches on all of our indexes, and real time book prices.

We also updated and consolidated our pricing plans, giving users higher call limits and more functionality at each plan level as well as a free 7 day trial for any plan.

We are excited to announce our database has reached over 20 million unique ISBNs and we continue to add thousand more daily.  

We optimized the site and API so that searches and price comparisons are much faster with most responses below 3 seconds.

We deployed additional updates to the API, to make searches more relevant and to allow additional filters and keyword searches.  We also added the MSRP (List Price) field to the API; we are currently working on populating the whole database with the price data.

We made some fixes to the API to resolve a JSON error, improve the response time, improve results accuracy, add subjects, and address pagination issues.   API documentation has also been updated.  

We deployed fixes to some additional API bugs related to malformed JSONS, and 400 errors when accessing the API.  We also fixed account bugs related to upgrading / changing subscription plans and expiration dates as we continue to refine and improve ISBNDB for our customers.

We have been hard at work fixing known bugs, we recently deployed fixes to malformed JSONs in the API, and 403 responses in the API have been fixed.
