# Book & audiobook research
Look up books, authors, reviews, and audiobooks across Goodreads, Apple
Books, and Audible as normalized JSON from the Crawlora API — no scraping
book-catalog pages.
## When to use this skill
- "What's the rating / reviews for this book?"
- "What has this author written?" (bibliography, quotes)
- "Give me a curated list" (Goodreads genre/lists pages).
- "Find this on Apple Books / is there an audiobook?"
- "What's charting on Apple Books / Audible right now?"
- "Who narrates this audiobook, and what else is in the series?" (Audible)
## Setup (one-time)
- Get a free Crawlora API key (2,000 credits/mo, no card) at [https://crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net?utm_source=github&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=crawlora-skills).
- Set `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` in the environment before running the helper.
- The helper reads `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` from the environment and sends requests to `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`. Missing/invalid key → `401`.
## How it works
1. **Goodreads** — `/goodreads/search` (`q`) to find a book/author id, then
`/goodreads/book/{id}` (+ `/reviews`, `/editions`) or
`/goodreads/author/{id}` (+ `/books`, `/quotes`). `/goodreads/genre/{name}`
and `/goodreads/list/{id}` (browse via `/goodreads/lists`) cover curated
browsing.
2. **Apple Books** — `/apple-books/search` (`term`) to find a book id, then
`/apple-books/book/{id}` (+ `/reviews`, `/similar`) or
`/apple-books/author/{id}`. Audiobooks mirror this:
`/apple
