def books(request):
    if request.method == "POST":
        form=DashboardForm(request.POST)
        text=request.POST['text']
        url="https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=" text
        r = requests.get(url)
        answer = r.json()
        result_list = []
        for i in range(10):
            result_dict = {
                'title':answer['items'][i]['volumeInfo']['title'],

I have installed and imported requests and want to redirect to google books page when i click on the book. enter image description here

CodePudding user response：

The issue seems to be with the value of "preview" in the "result_dict" dictionary. It looks like the "previewLinks" key in the JSON response from the Google Books API does not contain a URL that can be directly accessed.

You can try it like this:

result_dict = {
   ...
   'preview': answer['items'][I]['volumeInfo'].get('previewLinks').get('googlePlay'),
   ...
}

CodePudding user response：

from google.oauth2.credentials import Credentials from googleapiclient.discovery import build

def get_book(book_id):

Create an HTTP client to use with the Google Books API

service = build('books', 'v1', credentials=credentials)

Make a request to the Google Books API to get details about the book

response = service.volumes().get(volumeId=book_id).execute() return response

This code uses the googleapiclient library to build a client for the Google Books API and make a request to the volumes.get method to retrieve details about a book with a given book_id.
