}About the lafeltrinelli.it API
The La Feltrinelli API exposes 10 endpoints covering the full catalog of Italy's largest bookstore chain, returning fields such as EAN/ISBN, price, original_price, discount_percentage, publisher, author, and availability. You can retrieve live bestseller charts with ranked positions via get_bestsellers, browse new releases by time window, search by keyword or advanced title/author filters, and pull discounted titles segmented by promotion type.
Catalog Discovery and Search
The search_books endpoint accepts a required query string plus optional page and limit parameters, returning a total count and a paginated results array. Each result includes title, author, authors (full array), publisher, year, category, price, original_price, discount_percentage, and availability. For more targeted lookups, advanced_search_books accepts separate title and/or author fields (at least one required) and filters results to books only, using 1-based pagination.
New Releases and Pre-orders
Three endpoints slice the catalog by recency: get_new_books_this_week, get_new_books_last_30_days, and get_new_books_last_90_days. All three return the same paginated book object shape. get_preorder_books returns upcoming releases available for pre-order, which is useful for tracking publication pipelines. None of these endpoints require a query string — they reflect La Feltrinelli's editorial new-arrival and forthcoming feeds directly.
Bestsellers and Category Browsing
get_bestsellers returns an array of ranked books. Each object includes a rank integer, ean, price, product_url, and standard bibliographic fields. Two optional parameters, category (e.g. libri, ebook) and time_period (e.g. 1week, 1month), let you target specific charts. get_books_by_category accepts a required category string matching La Feltrinelli's department names (e.g. Narrativa italiana, Gialli, thriller, horror) and returns a paginated list of books within that section.
Pricing and Promotions
get_discounted_books exposes books currently on promotion, with an optional type parameter accepting Promozioni or Outlet to separate standard sales from clearance stock. Response objects include both price and original_price, so discount_percentage can be verified independently. For a single-item lookup, get_book_details accepts either a 13-digit ean or a product_url containing the /e/<ean> pattern and returns the full detail record including availability status.

What does get_bestsellers return, and how can I filter it by chart type?+
rank integer, ean, title, author, price, publisher, category, product_url, and availability. Two optional parameters control which chart is returned: category accepts slugs like libri or ebook, and time_period accepts values like 1week or 1month. Omitting both returns the default chart.Does the API return reader reviews or ratings for books?+
Is pagination consistent across all list endpoints?+
get_new_books_this_week, search_books, get_books_by_category, etc.) use 0-based page indexing. The exception is advanced_search_books, which uses 1-based page numbering. All paginated responses include a total field indicating the full result count.Does the API cover non-book products sold on La Feltrinelli, such as music, films, or toys?+
search_books endpoint searches across product types on the site but returns results in the same book object shape. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add endpoints targeting La Feltrinelli's music, film, or gift product sections.
