Hi Thomas.

I used, one year ago, the API: I downloaded the data from the Index pages,
and I think that it would be good to have it while we still don't have
Wikidata.
I guess it could be very useful to use for importing those data into
Wikidata.

The problem with those API is that it works only it Index pages, which are
only a fraction of the "book" entity on Wikisource. Index pages are not
linked in a structured way with their ns0 pages, and this is a problem for
us.

Ideally, we would know when a Index page has only one ns0 page, and we
would use the same set of data to create an entity (or more) into Wikidata.

I know that Sam is trying to develop a similar tool:
https://tools.wmflabs.org/ws-search/
and I don't know if that uses your API.
