AI and agents

Canonical facts, not hidden persuasion.

Good Novels offers a public, read-only discovery layer so legitimate systems can find accurate book metadata, editions, purchase paths, press facts, and citations.

Public knowledge API

Stable JSON endpoints

Responses include canonical URL, source, language, last-updated date, and a data version. They do not include manuscript text, private analytics, or credentials.

Crawler policy

Search discovery is welcome. Training access is a separate choice.

Public marketing and editorial pages allow OAI-SearchBot. GPTBot is disallowed. The manuscript is not hosted, so no full book is available to crawl.
