ABOUT US
Explore a vast collection of ebooks and immerse yourself in the world of endless reading possibilities.
Project Gutenberg is a library of over 70,000 free eBooks. Project Gutenberg was the first provider of free electronic books, or eBooks. Michael Hart, founder of Project Gutenberg, invented eBooks in 1971 and his memory continues to inspire the creation of eBooks and related content today. Project Gutenberg is a volunteer effort to digitize and archive cultural works, as well as to "encourage the creation and distribution of eBooks."
Gutendex is a simple, self-hosted web API for serving book catalog information from Project Gutenberg, an online library of free ebooks. Project Gutenberg can be a useful source of literature, but its large size makes it difficult to access and analyse it on a large scale. Thus, an API of its catalog information is useful for automating these tasks.
Gutendex uses Django to download catalog data and serve it in a simple JSON REST API.
Project Gutenberg has no such public API of its own, but it publishes nightly archives of complicated XML files. Gutendex downloads these files, stores their data in a database, and publishes the data in a simpler format.
