Working with volumes

• You can perform a volumes search by sending an HTTP GET request to the following URI: volumes

• This request has a single required parameter:

  • q - Search for volumes that contain this text string.
  • There are special keywords you can specify in the search terms to search in particular fields, such as:
    • intitle: Returns results where the text following this keyword is found in the title.
    • inauthor: Returns results where the text following this keyword is found in the author.
    • inpublisher: Returns results where the text following this keyword is found in the publisher.
    • subject: Returns results where the text following this keyword is listed in the category list of - the volume.
    • isbn: Returns results where the text following this keyword is the ISBN number.
    • lccn: Returns results where the text following this keyword is the Library of Congress Control Number.
    • oclc: Returns results where the text following this keyword is the Online Computer Library Center number.
