Question

I’m using Google Book Search API to add missings bits and pieces to my database.

Problem is that The API gives me back a list of book editions, and not reference to the original book itself.

The data I’m trying to get is this:

Original title: The Hobbit

Original year of publication: 1937

Can anyone help?

Just in case anyone asks: I’m developing this in Python.

Try with this snippet:

entry = self.service.get_by_google_id("XV0NAQAAIAAJ")
print entry.dc_title[0].text
print entry.date.text

Result is:
The hobbit
1937
