I want to create an OpenLibrary Bot

Do you want to create an OpenLibrary Bot? Let us know here!

I created an account called NaturalOrderBot which I would like to start by trying to tackle names natural order cleanup. Please add bot flag and API access. The next step probably would be creating an Issue for Natural Order cleanup for discussion of bot's approach to various format consistencies?

Howdy @brierjon I saw your email as well about Author data dumps! We'd love to have you join our slack channel. I'm granting your account bot access now :)

p.s. can you confirm the account name is NaturalOrderBot? I'm having trouble finding this user. And/or can you email me the email you used to register it?

[brierjon]

@mekarpeles Correct NaturalOrderBot Registered, but only recently logged in after verification. I'll ping you on Slack if you can't find it.

@brierjon naturalorderbot is now on the API usergroup and is a bot :)

I have created a bot account called WhitespaceBot. Can you add it to the API usergroup? I intend to run @mekarpeles 's making_a_bot,py + my remix for works with it(#108)

Let's bring this up during next community call so we can learn more!

Hello,

I'm currently developing a program for our school library
I use your API when adding new books to our database
so that we don't always enter the entire title, author, etc
must. But some books are not in your database, then
Of course, we still have to enter the book data manually. Then it would of course be practical to add these directly to the openlibrary via API. There is no open API for this, your team wrote that I should create a bot, can you give me bot access and add the bot to the API usergroup?

Hallo,

ich entwickle gerade ein Programm für unsere Schülerbücherei und dabei
benutze ich eure API, wenn neue Bücher in unsere Datenbank hinzugefügt
werden, damit wir nicht immer den ganzen Titel, Autor, etc. eingeben
müssen. Aber manche Bücher sind nicht in eurer Datenbank drin, dann
müssen wir die Buchdaten natürlich trotzdem manuell eingeben. Dann wäre es natürlich praktisch, diese direkt per API in die openlibrary hinzuzufügen. Eine offene API gibt es dazu nicht, euer Team hat geschrieben, ich soll einen Bot erstellen, könnt Ihr mir Bot Access geben und den Bot zur API usergroup hinzufügen?
