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.
