LibraryThing API
Tim Spalding has released an API for LibraryThing.
I just released a Javascript/JSON API to LibraryThing core work data.

It's basically a riff on what Google did recently?a way to link to LibraryThing if we have a book, and not if we don't. It also includes copy and review counts, and the average rating. It takes ISBNs, LCCNs and OCLC numbers.Next up will be a JSON API into member books, so members can design their own widgets and mash their library up with the contents of a page.It's all very beta, and my ears are wide open.
