Is it possible to use the WEB API and fetch information about publications such as Interzone issues which do not have an ISBN-10? I am interested in fetching the data for a series of magazine issues (IZ, Analog, etc.) and a series of anthologies (Dozois' "Year's best" mostly) and cross-correlating to find common authors, etc. -- [[User:Jdowland|Jdowland]] 21:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

fetching stuff without an ISBN-10

Is it possible to use the WEB API and fetch information about publications such as Interzone issues which do not have an ISBN-10? I am interested in fetching the data for a series of magazine issues (IZ, Analog, etc.) and a series of anthologies (Dozois' "Year's best" mostly) and cross-correlating to find common authors, etc. -- Jdowland 21:47, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
