# TypeScript typings for Books API v1 Searches for books and manages your Google Books library. For detailed description please check [documentation](https://developers.google.com/books/docs/v1/getting_started). ## Installing Install typings for Books API: ``` npm install @types/gapi.client.books@v1 --save-dev ``` ## Usage You need to initialize Google API client in your code: ```typescript gapi.load("client", () => { // now we can use gapi.client // ... }); ``` Then load api client wrapper: ```typescript gapi.client.load('books', 'v1', () => { // now we can use gapi.client.books // ... }); ``` Don't forget to authenticate your client before sending any request to resources: ```typescript // declare client_id registered in Google Developers Console var client_id = '', scope = [ // Manage your books 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/books', ], immediate = true; // ... gapi.auth.authorize({ client_id: client_id, scope: scope, immediate: immediate }, authResult => { if (authResult && !authResult.error) { /* handle succesfull authorization */ } else { /* handle authorization error */ } }); ``` After that you can use Books API resources: ```typescript /* Retrieves metadata for a specific bookshelf for the specified user. */ await gapi.client.bookshelves.get({ shelf: "shelf", userId: "userId", }); /* Retrieves a list of public bookshelves for the specified user. */ await gapi.client.bookshelves.list({ userId: "userId", }); /* */ await gapi.client.cloudloading.addBook({ }); /* Remove the book and its contents */ await gapi.client.cloudloading.deleteBook({ volumeId: "volumeId", }); /* */ await gapi.client.cloudloading.updateBook({ }); /* Returns a list of offline dictionary metadata available */ await gapi.client.dictionary.listOfflineMetadata({ cpksver: "cpksver", }); /* Gets the layer summary for a volume. */ await gapi.client.layers.get({ summaryId: "summaryId", volumeId: "volumeId", }); /* List the layer summaries for a volume. */ await gapi.client.layers.list({ volumeId: "volumeId", }); /* Gets the current settings for the user. */ await gapi.client.myconfig.getUserSettings({ }); /* Release downloaded content access restriction. */ await gapi.client.myconfig.releaseDownloadAccess({ cpksver: "cpksver", volumeIds: "volumeIds", }); /* Request concurrent and download access restrictions. */ await gapi.client.myconfig.requestAccess({ cpksver: "cpksver", nonce: "nonce", source: "source", volumeId: "volumeId", }); /* Request downloaded content access for specified volumes on the My eBooks shelf. */ await gapi.client.myconfig.syncVolumeLicenses({ cpksver: "cpksver", nonce: "nonce", source: "source", }); /* Sets the settings for the user. If a sub-object is specified, it will overwrite the existing sub-object stored in the server. Unspecified sub-objects will retain the existing value. */ await gapi.client.myconfig.updateUserSettings({ }); /* Returns notification details for a given notification id. */ await gapi.client.notification.get({ notification_id: "notification_id", }); /* List categories for onboarding experience. */ await gapi.client.onboarding.listCategories({ }); /* List available volumes under categories for onboarding experience. */ await gapi.client.onboarding.listCategoryVolumes({ }); /* Returns a stream of personalized book clusters */ await gapi.client.personalizedstream.get({ }); /* */ await gapi.client.promooffer.accept({ }); /* */ await gapi.client.promooffer.dismiss({ }); /* Returns a list of promo offers available to the user */ await gapi.client.promooffer.get({ }); /* Returns Series metadata for the given series ids. */ await gapi.client.series.get({ series_id: "series_id", }); /* Gets volume information for a single volume. */ await gapi.client.volumes.get({ volumeId: "volumeId", }); /* Performs a book search. */ await gapi.client.volumes.list({ q: "q", }); ```
