AuthorAPI

The AuthorAPI deals with everything related to Author pages on Open Library that begin with the URL prefix /authors.

In these docs you will find all the methods of the Author struct. To populate the struct you must first call GetAuthor.

If you are looking to get the Author from a work or edition, head out to that API's documentation i.e (docs/WorkAPI.md or docs/BookAPI.md etc.)
