This Apify Actor searches the public Google Books index and returns normalized book records. It uses the Google Books volumes API when available, then the public Atom feed, and finally a Playwright browser page as a fallback.

Input

{
"query": "artificial intelligence",
"maxItems": 20,
"gl": "us",
"hl": "en",
"proxyConfiguration": {
"useApifyProxy": false
}
}

Each record includes the title, authors, publication data, description, links, categories, rating fields when Google exposes them, query context, retrieval method, and synchronized scrape metadata. It also retains the Cloud fields for ISBN identifiers, author count, interface language, retrieval domain and index, source result count, purchase and price data, and access/viewability when the response supplies them. Atom entry URLs and update times are included only on the feed path. Optional source fields are omitted when the public response does not provide them.
