    It's not, and it's run by a private for-profit corporation, but once they re-enable their API it doesn't really matter for the purpose of scraping the data. Open data is open data, and integration is just a hook, not part of the core functionality of the app.

      Out of interest, how often do you find issues looking for books on OpenLibrary?

        I gave up on using any site for tracking books, they all either have partial functionality or limited database. These days, I just use SQLite database with a custom Python scraper that I turned into a basic website that offers everything I need.

        But last time I checked Openreads, it missed 9 out of 10 books. That's 10% success rate.
