Perl API wrapper package
Randy J. Ray (whose book
was actually a major inspiration for the API in the first place)
has released what looks like an excellent package for accessing ISBNdb.com's
API from perl applications --
WebService::ISBNDB.
He is now working on some additional features like iterators to help deal with
larger multi-page result sets.
Thank you, Randy!
Randy has also reported a slight deviation from proper ISO8601 format in all
API responses -- since all timestamps returned are in UTC timezone they need
to have 'Z' appended to the end. Effective today the API returns correct
timestamps:
2006-09-29T23:37:20
(was) |
→ |
2006-09-29T23:37:20Z
(now) |
Please update your parsers if needed, we apologize for the
inconvenience.
