Frequently asked questions
The most common questions about access and integration, packages, update frequency and licence terms. If you cannot find what you are looking for, write to the team.
Access and integration
Yes. Kibo Data Service runs over a REST API. There are endpoints for a paged record list, a single record by barcode and distributor availability. You can take the output as XML or JSON with the resp_type parameter.
GET https://data.kibokatalog.com/api/stok?resp_type=jsonXML pattern-0, pattern-1 and pattern-2; JSON; CSV; ONIX 3.0 for international marketplaces and MARC for library automation. The same data comes in every format with the same field names.
Ready integrations exist for Opencart, WooCommerce, Magento, IdeaSoft, Akınsoft and Dokuz Yazılım. Data is also transferred through the n11 and Stockmount panels. If you run a bespoke system it can be integrated, because the output is simple.
Yes. Before the contract, a sample set of records from the category you choose is shared; you can see the schema and how fully the fields are filled in your own system.
Packages and payment
A package is the first load of as many records as you choose into your system; it is one-off and mandatory. An update is the regular flow of new records and changes in price and print status; it is optional, but the update service cannot be given without a package. The record count of the collection you take also sets the update price.
By the number of records to be loaded into your system. PAKET-1 starts at 1,000 records and PAKET-5 covers 300,000 records, all the books. VAT is added to the prices.
By bank transfer or credit card. Billing is annual or monthly; an annual purchase comes with two months free.
Service definitions are made within one business day of purchase and your access details are sent to you. Registering your server IP address is part of this process.
Updates
Price and print status are updated daily. You can call the service hourly and avoid unnecessary data transfer by pulling only the records changed in the last X hours.
GET https://data.kibokatalog.com/api/stok?time=6New book and price information is taken directly from the publisher, verified by the data team and reaches the service the same day.
Licence and use
The licence covers a single domain. A 50% price advantage applies to a second site of the same company. You may not transfer the data to third parties or resell it.
Do not use cover images by direct link; download them to your own server and serve them from there. Link addresses can change, and direct use degrades service quality.
The data and update agreement must be approved and the IP address of the server that will connect must be registered. Requests from unregistered IP addresses are not answered.
