Hi, [I'm french so, sorry for any mistake or misspelling]
I've used the OL RDF API for a small web project of mine for 2 years now [1]. Until now, I store lists ids into a database, and get books and all their data from these ids using Curl calls and then store it on disk again. That's all. This is all done with some quick and dirty Perl scripts. Now, the project is growing [2] and we try to make it better, and I would like to build an AJAX process for a book title field in a form with "available data from your database" auto-fill for these fields. I'm almost sure it's not possible to achieve this with the API, but I ask you because I *really *want to be sure before searching for something else : now, I know your tool, so I would like to keep on with it. More, this is a piece of Free Software and data are Open, that's not the case for similar services. So my question is : *is it possible to request the API for editions or work titles, and **get associated data* (ISBN, author, issue, ... )??? Something just like : $ curl 'http://openlibrary.org/api/books?booktitle=Asking questions on mailing list for dummies' I only know we are able to do this from ISBNs, LCCNs, OCLC numbers and OLIDs, not for book titles... I mean I wish your internal web search engine would be APIzed... I just want to be sure it is not before I go back on Google or maybe OCLC? But if it's not, so I want to thank you because it's a great tool and It has been very very useful to me. Thanx for any response.
