About Google Books
Google Books is a massive digital library and search engine that provides access to metadata, previews, and full-text content for millions of books worldwide. Its API allows developers and businesses to search for books, retrieve detailed bibliographic information, access reading lists, and pull content previews — making it a valuable data source for education, publishing, research, and content-driven applications.
Education platforms, library systems, publishing companies, and content curators use the Google Books API to enrich their catalogues with cover images, descriptions, author details, ISBNs, and reader ratings. Researchers use it to locate sources, and learning management systems use it to build reading lists and course materials programmatically.
Osher integrates Google Books into data processing and content workflows using n8n. We build automations that pull book metadata into course management systems, enrich product catalogues with bibliographic data, generate reading lists from curated collections, and sync library records across platforms. If your business works with books, publications, or educational content, we connect Google Books data to the systems where you need it.

How it works
We work hand-in-hand with you to implement Google Books
As Google Books consultants we work with you hand in hand build more efficient and effective operations. Here’s how we will work with you to automate your business and integrate Google Books with integrate and automate 800+ tools.
Step 1
Define your book data requirements
We work with your team to identify what bibliographic data you need, where it should go, and what triggers the lookup. This could be enriching an existing catalogue, building automated reading lists, or populating a learning management system.
Step 2
Connect Google Books API to n8n
We configure the Google Books API connection within n8n using your API key. This gives workflows the ability to search for books and retrieve detailed metadata based on ISBN, title, author, or keyword queries.
Step 3
Build metadata retrieval workflows
We create n8n workflows that query Google Books based on your specified criteria — ISBNs from a catalogue, titles from a reading list, or keyword searches for a content curation project — and structure the returned data for your target system.
Step 4
Map and transform data for your systems
Book metadata is mapped to the specific fields required by your destination platform — LMS, e-commerce catalogue, database, or spreadsheet. Data transformations handle formatting differences, missing fields, and deduplication logic.
Step 5
Automate ongoing enrichment and updates
For catalogues and libraries that grow over time, we set up scheduled or event-triggered workflows that automatically enrich new entries with Google Books data as they are added. This keeps your records complete without ongoing manual effort.
Step 6
Test, validate, and hand over
We test the workflows against a representative sample of your data, verify that metadata is accurate and correctly mapped, and document the full setup. Your team receives a walkthrough so they can manage the integration going forward.
