The WorldCat Basic API provides machine-to-machine access to WorldCat for developers. A scaled down version of the WorldCat Search API, the WorldCat Basic API now gives anyone and everyone—especially people not currently associated with the library community—the chance to include library data in noncommercial apps and mash-ups. Up to 1,000 queries a day are provided at no charge.
