Views

List display

Used by PRH.com to display ISBN-based pubsets.

/titles/views/list-display

Product display

Used by Penguin.com to fetch title-level data to drive product display templates. It is the same representation as the work product display view.

/titles/{isbn}/views/product-display

Retail links

As of version 1.1.11, you may now fetch affiliated retailer links with the /retaillinks sub-resource.

/titles/{isbn}/retaillinks?affiliateSiteId={affiliateSiteId}

This is implemented by calling the Penguin service that PRH.com has used to generate affiliate links.

To get links with the appropriate affiliate code embedded, you should specify an affiliateSiteId parameter. The possible values are:

103	Stacks US
104	Penguin FB MyList
201	Random House
301	Penguin Random House
302	Brightly
303	Bookmarks
401	LitFlash
403	Stacks BR
8001	Affiliate - Default PRH
8002	Affiliate - Penguin Press
8003	Affiliate - Penguin Newsletters
8004	Retailer Widget Default

Here is a sample call and a portion of the output.
