谷歌图书 API 查找确切作者

Question

Working with the Google Books API, I'd like to be able to display other books by the same author, but the only 'author'-related filter I'm seeing in the docs is inauthor , which is looking for any authors that match the text provided:

https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=inauthor:Richard+Moreno&key=my_key

Returns several books by authors with the first name 'Richard', not specifically 'Richard Moreno'

Is there a parameter I can specify that I want only books by the exact same author?

Or do I need to filter the results myself to try to find an exact match?

Answer 1

After finding the author on Google Books and clicking his name, Google put together this search:

https://www.google.com/search?tbo=p&tbm=bks&q=inauthor:"Richard+Moreno"

Which clued me in to using quotes to find an exact match. I should have known this was possible, but the aforementioned docs leave that out.

So now my query is:

https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q=inauthor:"Richard+Moreno"&key=my_key

Which works as I wanted
