FAQPage Schema
How do I search Korean public library book availability by ISBN?

Search Korean public library book availability by submitting an ISBN and regional location code to the Data4Library API proxy. This returns a list of specific public libraries in that region holding the requested title.

Can I find Korean library books using just a keyword or title?

Yes, you can discover Korean library books by performing a keyword-based search using the Data4Library API. This returns matching titles and authors from the National Library of Korea catalog without needing an ISBN.

Do I need my own Data4Library API credentials to check library holdings?

No, you do not need to manage end-user API secrets to check library holdings. The Skill operates via a configured proxy endpoint that already contains valid Data4Library API credentials.

What is the best way to verify if a specific public library has a book in stock?

The best way to verify in-stock status is to check per-library availability through the Data4Library API. This confirms if a specific Korean public library currently holds a particular book for loan.

Can I use this to search public libraries outside of Korea?

No, this exclusively searches Korean public library catalogs. It queries the National Library of Korea's Data4Library API proxy service, meaning it only supports regional library holdings within Korea.
