I’ve a book club app where people upload the books they have and want to share some or all of them with other readers.
Issue is that they have to manually enter the book details.
Is there any workaround where they can enter book name or isbn number so that the app retrieves rest of the details from google (like, author, edition, cover image etc.)??
How can I achieve something like that in glide apps??

Well, i suppose you could import the data into google sheets by an api.

And use importjson script in google sheets
