re: WorldCat Search API is number 7!
Apologies for the off-topic comment, but I'm a software developer looking for a replacement for the Amazon APIs for use in a forthcoming commercial book cataloging application for home users. Who can I contact about obtaining access to the APIs that you have been building for use in my program.
Thanks in advance,

Sure thing, Chris. Please contact the WorldCat Partnership team at owcpartner@oclc.org and they will be pleased to help get you the right level of access. I will also let them know you are interested in the WorldCat Search API as a replacement for Amazon APIs.
