ebook.de does not seem to be operational

Open yantar92 opened this issue 2 years ago • 7 comments

I tried (persid-bibtex-from-isbn "isbn:978-1-890771-74-4"), but the query appears to be stumbling upon a JS-only page. Something should have changed in ebook.de.

Issue is welcome. If you can tell also where to find the ISBN information, we can start to try to include it (if openly accessible)

Check out "meta" in the readme of https://github.com/xlcnd/isbnlib It lists some more stable APIs provided by wikipedia and openlibrary.

I previously used ottobib, but it is no longer operational.

F***. Having a reliable ISBN server is really hard. Do you know by any change of an alternative server?

Can try OpenLibrary:

Like https://openlibrary.org/isbn/9781890771744.json

See https://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/

Does https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/commit/8108750c9d94908fa01ac20b0daec53f7df85303 close this issue? I don't use it a lot myself.

If I can re-use your code, sure!

rougier avatar Oct 13 '23 16:10 rougier

ok. It is here https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref/blob/master/org-ref-isbn.el#L195, in org-ref already I think.
