The Google Book Search API allows you to create more customizable and reliable links to Google Book Search from your site.For example, this tool lets you generate smart links that appear only when a book is in the index, or display links that indicate to your users whether a book can be previewed on Google Book Search. The Dynamic Links feature also lets you include a thumbnail image in your link to Google Book Search.
The dynamic links documentation is intended for programmers who want to write web applications that link to books within Google Book Search. You should be familiar with the HTTP protocol and basic JavaScript.
Google Book Search respects the user's local copyright restrictions, and as a result, previews or full views of some books are not available in all locations. Viewability is clustered into three different classes. Full view when the entire book is viewable. These books may be in the public domain. Limited preview when a portion of the book is viewable. This book is under copyright and Google Book Search has received permission to make these pages accessible to users. These books differ from snippet view books in that users may view entire pages. Snippet view and no preview when users see only an about the book page.
