Thisdocument is intended for developers who want to write applications thatcan interact with the Books API.Google Books has a mission to digitize theworld's book content and make it more discoverable on the Web. The Books API isa way to search and access that content, as well as to create and viewpersonalization around that content.

Every request your application sends to the Books API needs to identify your application to Google. There are two ways to identify your application: using an OAuth 2.0 token (which also authorizes the request) and/or using the application's API key. Here's how to determine which of those options to use:


Your application must use OAuth 2.0 to authorize requests. No other authorization protocols are supported. If your application uses Sign In With Google, some aspects of authorization are handled for you.


Some flows include additional steps, such as using refresh tokens to acquire new access tokens. For detailed information about flows for various types of applications, see Google's OAuth 2.0 documentation.


To request access using OAuth 2.0, your application needs the scope information, as well asinformation that Google supplies when you register your application (such as the client ID and theclient secret).


OAuth 2.0: Whenever your application requests private user data, it must send an OAuth 2.0 token along with the request. Your application first sends a client ID and, possibly, a client secret to obtain a token. You can generate OAuth 2.0 credentials for web applications, service accounts, or installed applications.


The API supports several types of restrictions on API keys. If the API key that you need doesn't already exist, then create an API key in the Console by clicking Create credentials > API key. You can restrict the key before using it in production by clicking Restrict key and selecting one of the Restrictions.


You need to specify ID fields with certain API method calls. There are threetypes of IDs used within Google Books: Volume IDs - Unique strings given to each volume that Google Books knows about. An example of a volume ID is _LettPDhwR0C. You can use the API to get the volume ID by making a request that returns a Volume resource; you can find the volume ID in its id field. Bookshelf IDs - Numeric values given to a bookshelf in a user's library. Google provides some pre-defined shelves for every user with the following IDs: Favorites: 0 Purchased: 1 To Read: 2 Reading Now: 3 Have Read: 4 Reviewed: 5 Recently Viewed: 6 My eBooks: 7 Books For You: 8 If we have no recommendations for the user, this shelf does not exist. Custom shelves have IDs greater than 1000. A bookshelf ID is unique for a given user, i.e., two users can have a bookshelf with the same ID that refer to different bookshelves. You can use the API to get the bookshelf ID by making a request that returns a Bookshelf resource; you can find the bookshelf ID in its id field. User IDs - Unique numeric values assigned to each user. These values are not necessarily the same ID value used in other Google services. Currently, the only way retrieve the user ID is to extract it from the selfLink in a Bookshelf resource retrieved with an authenticated request. Users can also obtain their own user ID from the Books site. A user cannot obtain the user ID for another user via the API or the Books site; the other user would have to share that information explicitly, by email for example.


Google Books respects copyright, contract, and other legal restrictionsassociated with the end user's location. As a result, some users might not beable to access book content from certain countries. For example, certain booksare "previewable" only in the United States; we omit such preview links forusers in other countries. Therefore, the API results are restricted based onyour server or client application's IP address.


This request has a single required parameter:q - Search for volumes that contain this text string. There arespecial keywords you can specify in the search terms to search in particularfields, such as: intitle: Returns results where the text following this keyword is found in the title. inauthor: Returns results where the text following this keyword is found in the author. inpublisher: Returns results where the text following this keyword is found in the publisher. subject: Returns results where the text following this keyword is listed in the category list of the volume. isbn: Returns results where the text following this keyword is the ISBN number. lccn: Returns results where the text following this keyword is the Library of Congress Control Number. oclc: Returns results where the text following this keyword is the Online Computer Library Center number.


Here is an example of searching for Daniel Keyes' "Flowers for Algernon":GET =flowers+inauthor:keyes&key=yourAPIKeyNote: Performing a search does not require authentication, soyou do not have to provide the Authorization HTTP header with theGET request. However, if the call is made with authentication, eachVolume will include user-specific information, such as purchased status.


You use the download parameter to restrict the returned results to volumes that have an availabledownload format of epub by setting the to the valueepub.The following example searches for books with an epub download available:


The accessInfo section is of particular interest in determiningwhat features are available for an eBook. An epub is a flowing textformat ebook, the epub section will have anisAvailable property indicating if this type of ebook is available.It will have a download link if there is a sample for the book or if the usercan read the book either due to having purchased it or due to it being publicdomain in the user's location. A pdf for Google books indicates ascanned pages version of the ebook with similar details such as if it isavailable and a download link. Google recommends epub files foreReaders and SmartPhones, as scanned pages may be hard to read on these devices.If there is no accessInfo section, the volume is not available as aGoogle eBook.

Google Play Books, formerly Google eBooks, is an ebook digital distribution service operated by Google, part of its Google Play product line. Users can purchase and download ebooks and audiobooks from Google Play, which offers over five million titles, with Google claiming it to be the "largest ebooks collection in the world". Books can be read on a dedicated Books section on the Google Play website, through the use of a mobile app available for Android and iOS, through the use of select e-readers that offer support for Adobe Digital Editions, through a web browser and reading via Google Home. Users may also upload up to 2,000 ebooks in the PDF or EPUB file formats. Google Play Books is available in 75 countries.


Google Play Books was launched in December 2010, with a reseller program letting independent booksellers sell Google ebooks on their websites for a cut of sales. It also launched an affiliate program in June 2011, allowing website owners to earn a commission by referring sales to the then-named Google eBookstore. However, the reseller program ended in April 2012, with Google stating that it had "not gained the traction that we hoped it would" and "not met the needs of many readers or booksellers". The affiliate program closed for new signups in February 2012, with Google announcing that it would scale down the initiative, making it private and invitation-only.


The mobile Android app has seen several significant updates since its introduction, including different reading modes with color contrasts, support for text highlighting and note-taking, a zoomed-out view with easy page sliding in an effort to improve reading experiences for books not read cover-to-cover, a vertical scrolling mode for comic books, a "Night Light" feature that gradually filters blue light to reduce eye strain after sunset, using machine learning imaging technologies to expand speech bubbles in comics, and listening to audiobooks.


As the Play Books store had been noted to hold much pirated content, Google discontinued new sign-ups to its publisher program in 2015. The program was reopened only in 2018 when it incorporated an automated process to decline books found to contain extensive text copied from other books already in the store.


The history of Google Play Books can be traced to the Google eBooks service offered by Google before the Google Play brand came into existence. The Google eBookstore was launched on December 6, 2010, with more than three million titles available, making it the "largest ebooks collection in the world".[3] At the time of launch, the service was partnered with 100 independent booksellers, while the number of publishers was 5,000. This increased to 250 independent booksellers and 7,000 publishers in May 2011, along with three million free Google eBooks available in the United States, up from two million at launch.[4][5] The service was codenamed Google Editions, the name under which it was widely assumed that the service would be launched.[6] Google Books director Dan Clancy had talked about Google's vision to open an ebookstore for in-print books in an interview back in July 2009.[7] Then-named TechHive reported in October 2009 that the service would be launched in the first half of 2010,[8] before a Google employee told the media in May that the launch would be in June or July.[9][10] The actual launch, however, took place in December.[3][11]
