Enhanced API v1.1.15 released

On Monday December 14, 2015, version 1.1.15 of the Enhanced PRH API was released to production. If you encounter any problems with your applications as a result of these changes, please contact us at api@penguinrandomhouse.com.

Version 1.1.15 release notes

Title hashtag information now available as a subresource

This version adds a new subresource "/titles/{isbn}/hashtags" which returns data from the ISBNxHASHTAG table

/PrhApi/domains/PGI.US/titles/9780141199573/hashtags

  "hashTags": [
    "AdventuresOfHuckleberryFinn"
  ],

New 'awardMaxSeq' parameter added

We've also added a new parameter "awardMaxSeq" which can be used in combination with "showAwards" to limit which awards are considered. The awards table has a sequence column which is used to order some of the awards roughly in order of importance with the value of 999 being used as a catch all for unsequenced awards. PRH.com has chosen to use this parameter with a value of "998" to restrict their work listings to just those that have one of the sequenced awards.
