hello I am working on a book tracker app and I want my users to be able to look up books on the app and from there add to their favorites/ organize/ rate and review them. I have a key from ISBNdb for the list of books database but having some difficulty figuring out how to connect it to my app. Can anybody provide some guidance, thank you!
What “key” are you mentioning here? Is it an API key? Does the website provide a way to get data through an API?
