Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Apple Books endpoint catalog — 14 endpoints, 63 documented request parameters, and 14 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
14 documented Apple Books endpoints, grouped into 8 request families — Audiobook, Book and Audiobook Series, plus 5 more.
63 request parameters are documented across those Apple Books endpoints, 26 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
14 of the 14 Apple Books endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 14 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Apple Books endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429, 500 and 503) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
14 hosted MCP tools back the Apple Books endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.

Featured endpoints
/apple-books/searchSearches Apple Books ebooks by `term`, which is required. `country` is the two-letter storefront code (default `us`), `lang` a language tag such as `en-us`, `limit` the result count (default 50, max 200) and `page` starts at 1. Results include `isbn`, `publisher`, `page_count`, price, rating, genres and series details.
MCP tool apple_books_search
/apple-books/book/{id}Returns book metadata from Apple Books, including ISBN, page count, publisher, audience, rating histogram, and series linkage.
MCP tool apple_books_book
/apple-books/book/{id}/reviewsReturns a page of a book's customer reviews. The default first page is served from the book's own catalog page; deeper pages (page>1 or a larger limit) page through Apple's review API directly, up to 20 per page.
MCP tool apple_books_book_reviews
/apple-books/book/{id}/similarReturns the 'Customers Also Bought' books shown on the Apple Books page of one book, identified by its numeric `id`. `country` (default `us`) and `lang` (such as `en-us`) choose the storefront and language. Each item has name, author, `publisher`, `isbn`, `page_count`, price, rating and `series_sequence`.
MCP tool apple_books_book_similar
/apple-books/author/{id}Returns an Apple Books author by numeric author `id`: name, URL, genres, their ebooks and, where available, audiobooks. Books carry details such as ISBN, page count, publisher, price, rating and series; audiobooks add narrator, duration and preview. `country` is a two-letter storefront code (default `us`) and `lang` a language tag such as `en-us`.
MCP tool apple_books_author
/apple-books/series/{id}Returns an Apple Books series by its numeric `id`: the series `name` and `url`, and its books in series order. Each book has `series_sequence`, author, `publisher`, `isbn`, `page_count`, price and rating. `country` (default `us`) and `lang` choose the storefront and language.

Ebook search and RSS charts accept a limit up to 200; Apple's audiobook chart page serves 40 ranked rows and no continuation. Descriptions may contain HTML.

charts and search for dune each returned 50 results by default; the first search hit was Dune by Frank Herbert (id 597944491). Use limit and page to change it.
Descriptions contain tags such as <b>, so clean them before display or text analysis. Authors are separate records with their own ids (Frank Herbert's artist id was 296898111).
