Challenge
Creating a collection of all of the books and tracking where they are being sold, their future releases, and just finding all of the books written in the past 50 years was all a challenge. So we decided to create our own crawler combining some publicly available APIs, and writing a crawler that will crawl public book catalogues on a regular (approved) intervals, and book stores in a non-intrusive manner. We built our crawler in Python and it also served as the API that can crawl books based on a query, and return structured data accounting for multiple variations and version histories.
