Hello everybody, I am currently developing an iOS based app for managing one’s personal book collection. The user can scan the book’s barcode or enter its title or author to get the book’s data from OpenLibrary and add it to the app’s database. If OpenLibrary doesn’t have a record for the searched book yet, the user can add the book manually to the app by entering the data herself (this also includes taking a picture with the phone’s camera for adding a cover). Now it would be great if these new book records could be made available to OpenLibrary as well (of course with the user’s consent). The OpenLibrary API doesn’t seem to provide the functionality for creating a new account, logging in and adding or editing a record and I was told that the site is not in active development at the moment. Since I am a c++ developer and not very fluent in web development, I was wondering what it would take to add these features to the API and whether this kind of usage would even be approved by OpenLibrary.org?
Regards, Birgit
