How challenging is it to add new libraries?

The API I'm using searches all libraries that use Libby/overdrive (https://www.overdrive.com/) to distribute eBooks. So if your library isn't on there then they probably don't use Libby and the way to get them on this site would be to have your library start using it. Lmk if they are on Libby and not showing up bc that would be an issue and I can fix it :)

Another option is to get a library card at a library that does use Libby -- there are some that offer cards to non-residents solely so you can check out library books but idk exactly which ones

Mind if I ask what API you're using? Is it from Overdrive's API or a third-party? Have an idea I want to explore if there's a decent API.

Yeah me too, I've scraped libby pretty easily but didn't know there was an API.

A niche thing which can affect stuff is some libraries only show their full catalog if you're logged in (and potentially which partner library you're a part of, if the library offers multiple). I don't remember if I just read this in their documentation or when scraping, found at least a few difference so logged in first

What are some ways to find libraries that issue cards to non-residents?
