SearchAPI

This section will have all things related to searching and querying the OpenLibrary API.

SubjectAPI

To start searching for a subject, you use GetSubject; which will return a Subject struct type. For a more detailed search on subject, you can use GetSubjectDetails.

Examples

    // To search for a subject
    sbj, err := GetSubject("Biology")
    
    // To get a detailed subject
    detailed, err := GetSubjectDetails("Biology")

SearchAPI

When searching you are able to specify which data you are looking for (author, subject, title, etc.) as specified by the OpenLibrary API. Firstly, you have to construct the SearchURL, using SearchURL struct type and methods, that would be fed to Search.

Examples

    // Construct the SearchUrl
    url := gol.SearchUrl().All("the selfish gene").Author("Richard Dawkins").Construct()
    // search
    search, err := gol.Search(url)

QueryAPI

When using the queryAPI, you have to first construct the url with QueryUrl and then make the query with gol.Query().

Examples

    // Construct the QueryUrl
    url := gol.QueryUrl().Author("OL236174A").Limit(2).Construct()
    // make the query
    query, err := gol.Query(url)
    // map[string]interface{}
