[Koha-devel] Cover image lookup via UPC

[Barton Chittenden]

I've been trying to find out whether pulling cover images via Universal
Product Code would be possible from Amazon and Google.

I did some digging; we're doing this via Syndetics and Baker & Taylor
already, so the groundwork is already partially laid:

Bug 14607   : Make Baker & Taylor cover images accessible by UPC as well as
ISBN

What little googling I've done for Amazon seems to indicate that they have
the ability to look up items and their product images via UPC, although I'm
not clear if that's available across all locales. I haven't looked at
Google yet.

I haven't see any bugs filed for this -- has anyone else done any research
on using UPC lookup for Amazon or Google?
