Since I discovered to be quite hard to find comprehensive APIs (tried both Goodreads' and Google's) to retrieve book cover images for a personal project, I decided to create this API which does exactly that. I plan to add more features on it as times goes on.
It accepts the following two required parameters:
- book_title (string)
- author_name (string)
