Client libraries make it easy to use the Books API in your favorite language!
Books API client libraries
We have developed a client library written specifically for the Books API.
Google API client libraries
We also offer generic Google API client libraries that you can use with Books API.
The Google API client libraries, which are available in a number of popular programming languages, make it easy to use the Books API.
In the following tables, the first column shows each library's stage of development (note that
some are in early stages), and links to documentation for the library. The second column links to
available samples for each library.
These early-stage libraries are also available:
Featured samples
Often, the easiest way to learn how to use an API is to look at sample code. The tables above provide links to some basic samples for each of the languages shown. This section highlights some additional interesting samples for the Books API.
