# Open Library

Open Library is an open, editable library catalog, building towards a web page for every book ever published.

## Configuration

The service sometimes takes a very long time to respond, the `timeout` may need to be adjusted.

    - name: openlibrary
      engine: openlibrary
      shortcut: ol
      timeout: 10

## Implementations

searx.engines.openlibrary.search_api = 'https://openlibrary.org/search.json'

  The engine uses the API at the endpoint search.json.
