429 There is an incomplete search API as the final interface has not been decided.  Only rudimentary search functions are supported for now.   Development in progress is being discussed in the Open Library bug tracker at <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlibrary/+bug/236947">https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlibrary/+bug/236947</a>; interested parties are invited to post comments and requests in that tracker item. 439 <b>This search API is deprecated and not maintained now. The <a href="/dev/docs/api/books">Open Library Books API</a> can be used for searching for ISBNs or other identifiers. We are working on a new work search API to replace this.</b>
