Book Reader Stats API

Live reader-community stats for books from Open Library (the Internet Archive's open book catalog) — no key, nothing stored. This is the reading-community view of a book: how readers rate it and how many want to read, are reading or have already read it, distinct from the plain book-catalog and reading-trends APIs in the catalogue — this is the community-engagement layer, not the bibliographic record. The book endpoint returns a title's reader stats: the average rating, the full 1-5 star distribution, and the reading-log counts (want-to-read, currently-reading, already-read), with its authors, first-published year and subjects. The search endpoint searches books and returns each match with its rating and want-to-read count, so you can find a work and its Open Library id. The author endpoint returns an author's profile — work count, top work and dates. Build reading dashboards, book-recommendation widgets, "most wanted" charts and community-sentiment tools on top of real Open Library data. Look up a book by its Open Library work id (work=OL27448W) or by title (title=the hobbit); reading-log counts come from the community's bookshelves.

Wattpad API

Live data from Wattpad, the world's largest storytelling social platform where writers publish serialized fiction and millions of readers follow, vote and comment, served straight from Wattpad's public API — no key, nothing cached. The search endpoint finds stories by keyword, each with its read, vote and comment counts, part count, completion and maturity flags, tags and author — a popular dragon-romance pulls hundreds of thousands of reads. The story endpoint returns one story in full: its description, cover, the engagement counts, the number of parts, language, tags and the author with their follower count. The user endpoint returns a writer's profile: their follower and following counts, the number of stories they have published, their bio and location — Wattpad's own account has tens of millions of followers. The user-stories endpoint returns a writer's published stories with each one's stats. Everything is live from Wattpad, nothing stored. This is the web-fiction social layer for any reading, discovery, writing-community or recommendation app. Distinct from mainstream social and the book-catalog APIs — this is Wattpad's stories, their engagement and their authors. 4 endpoints, no key on our side.

Reading Trends API

A live read on what the Open Library reading community is into right now, as an API. Pull the trending books over the last day, week, month or year — with author, first-published year and edition count — or open a book for its social reading stats: the average star rating and number of ratings, and how many people have it on their "want to read", "currently reading" and "already read" shelves. The pulse of community reading delivered as clean JSON for book, social and dashboard apps. Live data, no key. Distinct from book-catalogue search/ISBN APIs — this is the reading-popularity and shelf-engagement layer.

Tarot API

The complete 78-card tarot deck as an API — 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana across the four suits (Wands, Cups, Swords and Pentacles). Look up any card by id or name (e.g. The Fool, The Lovers, Ace of Cups) for its upright and reversed meanings and the classic Rider-Waite description, search the whole deck by keyword or theme (e.g. love), browse a single minor suit, or draw a spread of random cards for an instant reading. Each card carries its arcana type, suit, numeric value and both interpretations. Ideal for tarot and astrology apps, daily-card widgets, divination and journaling tools, games and content sites.
