Have you worked with REST APIs before?

OpenLibrary.org has a REST API that you would need to tap into.

You can do this in 1 of 3 ways:

1. Write your own custom JavaScripts.

2. Use DataFetcher.

3. My favorite way to do this: Use Make’s HTTP module to integrate Airtable and Open Library.

There can be a bit of a learning curve with Make, which is why I created this basic navigation video for Make, along with providing the link to Make’s free training courses.

p.s. If you have a budget for your project and you’d like to hire an expert Airtable consultant to help you with this, please feel free to contact me through my website: Airtable consulting — ScottWorld
