Siftivo tools (12, 2 write)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsadd_to_librarywrite actionFreePut a book on one of the signed-in reader's shelves, move it to a different shelf, rate it, or record how far through it they are. Pass a workId from search_books, get_book, or recommend_from_titles. "Finished it, four stars" is one call with readingStatus FINISHED and rating 4.
get_authorFreeAn author, their biography, and the works Siftivo holds for them. Accepts an author id or slug.
get_bookFreeFull detail for one book: synopsis, authors, series position, genres, and its page on siftivo.com. Accepts a work id, an edition id, or a slug.
get_my_bookFreeWhether the signed-in reader has this book on a shelf, and if so which shelf, their rating and how far through they are. Answers "have I read this?" without pulling the whole library.
get_my_libraryFreeThe signed-in reader's own Siftivo library: what they want to read, are reading, finished, or set down, with their ratings.
get_reading_indexFreeThe weekly Siftivo Reading Index: the fiction and nonfiction books moving most in cultural circulation this week, ranked.
get_seriesFreeA series and its works in reading order. Accepts a series id or slug.
recommend_from_descriptionFreeDescribe what someone is in the mood for, in their own words, and get books that match. Use this for a theme, subject or feeling ("books about grief", "cozy mysteries set in Cornwall"). Use search_books instead when you already know the title or author.
recommend_from_titlesFreeGive Siftivo a few books someone liked, by title, and get books like them. Titles are resolved against the catalog first; anything that does not resolve is reported back rather than guessed at.
remove_from_librarywrite actionFreeTake a book off the signed-in reader's shelves entirely, discarding their rating and progress for it. To move it to a different shelf instead, call add_to_library with a new readingStatus.
search_booksFreeKeyword search over the Siftivo book catalog. Matches titles, authors, and descriptions. Returns works with the ids other Siftivo tools accept.
what_to_read_nextFreeGiven one book, what to read after it: the next books in its series, more by the same author, and books that read like it. This is the same set the book page on siftivo.com shows.
