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.

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.
