In the collection "Astounding Stories 09", the information about authors is missing. There is a list of authors for the whole collection, but not which book has which authors. The authors are: Attack from space - Captain S. P. Meek A problem in communication - Miles J. Breuer Jetta of the ...

There are about 17 books with collections of Science Fiction short stories under the title "Astounding Stories", and about 50 books under the title "Short Science Fiction Story Collection". There is a difference between how the authors are reported. In the "Astounding Storie...

There is a list of of books where the link to the wikipedia book entry doesn't work because it contains things like "None", "n/a", "-" and so on. http://librivox.org/through-glacier-park-seeing-america-first-with-howard-eaton-by-mary-roberts-rinehart/ - link removed htt...

In this book https://librivox.org/armadale-by-wilkie-collins/ the link to the wikipedia entry for the book is broken. The link is "http://www. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadale_(novel)" with a space between www and en.wikipedia

On this forum viewtopic.php?t=44827 there is a link to http://en.wilipedia.org/wiki/Uncle_Tom%27s_Cabin instead of wikipedia.

You need to pass 'extended=1' to get genres. My solution is to call API 9300 times, and reconstruct the data base. I agree it's crazy. My solution was first to download just the ids (without extended), then download with extended=1 20 books at a time, keeping track which are missing, and downloadin...

Hello gnasher san, I think we cannot access abandoned projects through API. But I could be wrong. Can you mention the abandoned projects with IDs? Some projects are silent for several months. But they are treated as in Progress. Cheers, Masa Hi Masa, The first three books without a link to archive....

Another alternative: use XML (by dropping 'format=json&'). Not as convenient as JSON, but not a big deal. Scott Well, it doesn't solve the problem. The problem is in the code that collects the data that gets returned; the bug turns the data from an array into a dictionary, and you often have du...

I figured out how to distinguish between complete and incomplete books using the LibriVox - just download the "Extended" data, check for the field "url_iarchive" (which is needed anyway to download thumbnails and the actual .mp3 files), and if that field isn't there or is empty, ...

Hi everyone, I started writing some code to get information about books using the Librivox api, and here is what I found so far: 1. For each book, the following fields are returned by default: id, title, description, url_text_source, language, copyright_year, num_sections, url_rss, url_zip_file, url...
