OPDS

Kiwix-serve provides an OPDS feed. This API allows to retrieve the library metadata, but not the content themselves.

A live instance can be see at https://library.kiwix.org/.

End points

• https://library.kiwix.org/searchdescription.xml which proposes an overall OPDS description in XML format
• https://library.kiwix.org/catalog/search which accepts a few GET parameter:
  • q=<PATTERN> which proposes a keyword based search in the catalogue (on title and description).
  • lang=fra which proposes a language filter. Use an ISO639-3 language value (like in ZIM metadata).
  • tag=wikipedia to filter on tags (multiple values as intersection).
  • count=2 to limit the number of results.
  • start=1 to indicate an offset in search results.
• https://library.kiwix.org/catalog/root.xml which proposed the index of all the books
