Comment on To boost Bookwyrm, there should be a tool to scrape book data from Amazon

Bookwyrm does have a feature to fetch book data from OpenLibrary which is detailed enough. The problem last I checked is that the feature doesn’t replace data of already-existing books, so even if it exists in OL it won’t replace the empty listing in Bookwyrm.

If that feature worked properly or the admin of the instance would update to the newest database of OpenLibrary then it should work fine.
