WorldCat Search API
The WorldCat Search API provides access to WorldCat bibliographic records and holdings using the FRBR concepts to pull together various editions of the same work. The API provides access to the WorldCat databases from clients that can send RESTful URI queries with either the OpenSearch or SRU protocols and can accept RSS, Atom, MARC XML or Dublin Core® responses. The API enables participants to deliver WorldCat access to users without requiring them to leave a library’s Web site. As a result, it should increase the number of links to library catalogs.
The WorldCat Search API allows developers in libraries to build prototypes and applications reliant on rich, bibliographic data quickly and easily.”
—Mark A. Matienzo, Applications Developer, Digital Experience Group The New York Public Library
