Open Library API RxClient

The Open Library API RxClient is a Java library for easily connecting to https://openlibrary.org/developers/api/ and getting the received data as RxJava observables. The client is optimized for Android but can also be used elsewhere.

Setup (gradle)

Add jitpack.io to your root build.gradle file:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Add the dependency to your project build.gradle file:

dependencies {
        ...
        implementation 'com.github.rickardzettervall:openlibrary-api-rxclient:0.2'
}

More setup options can be found over at jitpack.io.

Getting started

// Get instance
OpenLibraryClient client = OpenLibraryClient.getInstance();

// Implement your own RxJava observer, e.g.
DisposableSingleObserver<List<BookView>> disposable =
            client.getRepository().getBooks(BookView.class, "ISBN:0385472579", "LCCN:62019420")
                    .observeOn(Schedulers.from(ContextCompat.getMainExecutor(this)))
                    .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                    .subscribeWith(new DisposableSingleObserver<List<BookView>>() {
                        @Override
                        public void onSuccess(@NonNull List<BookView> bookViews) {
                            // Do stuff
                        }

                        @Override
                        public void onError(@NonNull Throwable e) {
                            // Do stuff
                        }
                    });
