The Books Mandala API Is Now Open to the Public

At Books Mandala, we have always believed in making books more accessible. Whether through fast delivery, curated recommendations, or a thoughtfully designed browsing experience, our goal has always been to help you find the right book at the right time.

Now, we are opening a new chapter in that mission. Our tech team at Mandala Tech has just released the Books Mandala API to the public. This means developers, students, hobbyists, and anyone curious can now access our book data in real time and use it to build their own tools, apps, or side projects.

What Is the Books Mandala API

The Books Mandala API provides structured, real-time access to our entire catalog. You can search for books by title, author, or ISBN, retrieve detailed metadata for individual titles, and integrate our book database into your own applications. Whether you want to build a personal reading list generator, a classroom book assistant, or a Chrome extension that checks availability while you browse, this API makes it possible. It is free to use and requires no authentication or setup to get started.

Why This Matters

Books Mandala is not just a store. It is a growing ecosystem that brings Nepali and international literature to readers across the country and around the world. By making our data available programmatically, we are helping local and global developers build new ways to connect people with the books they love. From custom search tools to voice assistants, from Discord bots to GPT agents, we believe this API will help bring more creativity and accessibility to the reading experience.

Ideas to Get Started

If you are wondering what to build, here are some simple ideas you can explore in a weekend:

• A book search bar that shows live results from Books Mandala on your blog or site
• A Discord bot that returns book info when someone types a title
• A browser extension that lets you right-click any book name and check availability
• A reading list generator that pulls data directly from our live inventory

You can even integrate it into GPT plugins or AI agents to provide smarter book recommendations.

Start Building

The API is live now. You can start with the documentation at https://openapi.mitnpl.com/docs and explore our full catalog at https://booksmandala.com

For developers who want to go deeper, our tech team has shared more about how and why this API was built on our sister site. You can read the full article here: The Books Mandala API Is Live on Mandala Tech.

If you are building something with it, let us know. We are always excited to see what creative tools and experiences our community can create using real-time book data.

This is just the beginning. We are building a future where discovering books can happen not only on websites and apps, but through conversations, agents, and tools that meet readers where they are.

We cannot wait to see what you build next.

Best,

Books Mandala Team
