It would be useful to import book information and cover images retrieved from the API into Logseq. I have made it happen.
Warning
This plugin does not work with Logseq db version.
- This is a plugin that searches the database of Google Books and creates book pages in Logseq.
No Google account is required for use.

Googlein the search bar, choose from the search results, and install.
-
Press the
Gbutton in the upper right toolbar to open the keyword input screen.
-
Once the search results appear, press the selection button on the left to start creating a book page.
-
The plugin retrieves book information from Google Books API and creates a page.
- Pattern 1 -> Add links or tags (
#[[Books/Title]]) from pages like journals and nest them. - Pattern 2 -> Write directly on the book page (adding a date link makes it convenient to know when it was written later within the same page).
- Pattern 3 -> Create subpages on the book page and write on those pages (examples of subpages:
Books/Title/Impressions)
- A summary page named
Readingwill be created with a default query. - Pages for each book (
Books/TitleorEbooks/Titleformat).
- The plugin retrieves and saves those images to the
assets/storages/google-books/folder.It's also possible to turn off saving in the plugin settings.
- Book information is retrieved from the database using the API provided by Google Books. Items like release dates may differ from confirmed information.
