International e-books

From autumn 2016 Bokbasen have been delivering e-books from international publishers through DDS, to support the large increase in number of books and specific requirements from International publishers this requires some changes in the DDS integration. These changes are only required by stores that wants to sell books from these publishers, no changes needed if you are only selling books from Norwegian publishers.

Two end-points are changing and will work in parallell

Get inventory

The interface for inventory will change in order to support a larger volume of books with introducing a paging mechanism where you are sure that you are always getting books that have changes. (similar to the mechanism used in Metadata Export Service. For details on how to user next and after parameters see: Export Service#Parameters

You are welcome to migrate to this endpoint even if you do not plan to import international e-books. The performance of this endpoint is dramatically improved compared to v1 and you will be able to load this data much faster. However, note that you will see a much larger number of books with access=false if you do not have a contract to sell international titles. Still, with the significant improvement in load time this is a more efficient way of loading Inventory data for Norwegian titles as well.
