Bug ID: 507912
Summary: Open Library - Does not fetch covers for books without
ISBN
Classification: Applications
Product: tellico
Version First HEAD
Reported In:
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The cover is not retrieved for books that do not have an ISBN listed.
Documentation, Open Library Covers API:
https://openlibrary.org/dev/docs/api/covers
Tellico retrieves covers using this API call:
https://covers.openlibrary.org/b/isbn/$value-M.jpg?default=false
Perhaps it would be better to use OLID (Open Library ID) rather than ISBN to
retrieve a book cover:
https://covers.openlibrary.org/b/olid/$value-M.jpg?default=false
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new book collection
2. Add entry from Internet Search
3. Search "Sonnets. Volume 8" or "nous. n°1"
Search type: Title
Search source: Open Library
4. The returned book has no cover.
Yet the cover is present on OpenLibrary :
https://openlibrary.org/books/OL32223354M/Sonnets._Volume_8
https://openlibrary.org/books/OL59631618M/nous._n%C2%B01
