Bug ID: 39865
Summary: Consider updating OpenLibrary covers search API
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: 24.11
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P5 - low
Component: OPAC
Assignee: oleon...@myacpl.org
Reporter: oliver.beh...@aei.mpg.de
QA Contact: testo...@bugs.koha-community.org
Koha currently uses OpenLibrary's "Legacy Book API" [1] to fetch book covers
which "is a legacy endpoint and may be phased out in the future". Also, it's
inefficient.
The replacement seems to be the dedicated "Covers API" [2]. One drawback,
though, it's currently rate limited to 100 requests per IP per five minutes.
That might quickly be exhausted on the OPAC search result page.
Thanks
