open_library

A Dart implementation of openlibrary.org api.

Features

• fetch book information using the https://openlibrary.org api ISBN
• supports 10 and 13 digit ISBN numbers
• adds authors and covers to the book result object
• covers can be easily used in flutter providing MemoryImages using Uint8List as covers
• search for books using the query methods for title, authors, isbn and unified queries
• new search patterns for subject, place, person, language, and publisher
• load covers in small, medium, large or even disable cover load
