Our API
Simple yet powerful.
We've designed our API to be extremely simple to integrate into your website. Our normal affiliate rates for those that use our API are generally between 5-7%. Contact us for more details.
Here's the nitty gritty: submit a request to our API like this: http://www.fairbooks.com/api.php?id=100&password=demo&isbn=0547167024&view=xml. As you can see from the link, the price is returned as an XML feed which you can then navigate however you'd like. If you submit an isbn that we're not buying, it will return nothing for price (ie, <price/>). If you would like to display a link for customers to click on to get to our site with the book automatically added to their cart, you would just change the view from view=xml to view=page.
And that's it! Send us an email at help@fairbooks.com or submit an email through our online form and we'll set up you with your own id and password.
