We wanted a way to use the ISBN number to find information about the book because in school, we used to always want to find online pdf versions using the ISBN number, so this project was a stepping stone to improve that.
What it does
The program returns book info, the title, the cover, and related books to that genre.
How we built it
We used VS Code and coding languages: python, css, html, js. Additionally, we consulted ChatGPT and Google Gemini for code references. We used the Google Book API to retrieve the book information.
Challenges we ran into
Using Google Book API and connecting it to Python. Using JS as the backend and connecting HTML to it.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We are most proud of the aesthetics of the website and the idea of retrieving the ISBN numbers.
What we learned
We learned how to use JS to connect Python and HTML code together as well as how to use CSS to stylize the website.
What's next for ISBN Search
In the future we will add more features for the website to grab information about the book and potentially search the web for ways to retrieve online pdf versions of the book for the user using Google Book API.
