Web link attrs

The API source database uses the tables ISBNxWEBLINK and AUTHORxWEBLINK to track a variety of web and URL data related to books and authors. These tables are exposed as subresources of the Title and Author resources with /titles/{isbn}/weblinks and /authors/{authorId}/weblinks. Both of these tables have a field named linkattr which is exposed as the API parameters titleWebLinkAttr and authorWebLinkAttr (see Common Parameters).

Filtering web links

The linkattr value indicates what type of URL data is being represented and you can provide one or more of the possible values to restrict the type of weblinks that the subresources return. For example /titles/{isbn}/weblinks?linkAttr=19000&linkAttr=23000 returns just Twitter and Instagram accounts for the specified book while /authors/{authorId}/weblinks?linkAttr=6000 returns the specified author's blog. As always, if no entries exist that satisfy the requirements, an HTTP 404 will be returned.
