Google Books is Google's book discovery and reading platform, with a searchable catalog of books and limited preview or ebook availability information. It also lets signed-in users organize personal bookshelves and library data.

2 integrations · REST

Google Books exposes two public developer surfaces: the Google Books REST API at `https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1` (using either an API key for public data or Google OAuth 2.0 for user-library operations) and the unauthenticated Embedded Viewer JavaScript API for book previews.
