Hi all,
I’m new to OL. I’m excited about it’s vast potential.
I had a quick question.
I recently downloaded a dump and extracted it to a sql database. When I query
this database I retrieve a OL id for a given book, but when I turn around and
use this ID against open library directly with an API call, I get no results.
For example, this row extracted from the Dump
Adventures of Tom Sawyer Mark Twain OL15346679W
returns no results
https://openlibrary.org/api/books?bibkeys=OLID:OL15346679W
Other entries I’ve noticed that do work correctly end with ‘M’ as the last
character of the OLID instead of ‘W’
I’m hoping the OL ids have not all changed. It took a good while to pull down
the 100gig dump and build a database that I could query and consume.
I’m hoping someone can lend some light on this problem for me.
Thanks
-Chris Flynn
