DESCRIPTION ----------- worldcat is a Python module that works with OCLC's WorldCat Affiliate web services (see <http://www.worldcat.org/affiliate/>). worldcat currently works with the WorldCat Search API, the xID (xISBN, xISSN, and xOCLCNUM) APIs, and lookups using the WorldCat Registry API. Requests to the WorldCat Search API key require an API key provided by OCLC (see <http://www.worldcat.org/affiliate/tools?atype=wcapi>), available to all OCLC members at no charge. The authors of this module do not endorse the terms of use of OCLC APIs nor are liable for any violations of their Terms of Use.
