Overview

The book-query service is primarily used to query detailed information about books using their ISBN numbers. This service accepts a request containing an ISBN number and sends a request to an external API to retrieve all available data related to that ISBN, including but not limited to the author, publication date, and publisher. This feature is very useful for library management systems, online bookstores, and other applications that need to quickly look up book details based on ISBN.
