This public project is designed to make getting used, new, and rental book prices from the most common textbook sellers easy. The following clients can be accessed with this project:

- AbeBooks
- Amazon
- BookRenter (via CommissionJunction)
- Cengage (via CommissionJunction)
- Chegg
- Skyo (via CommissionJunction)
- ValoreBooks

Getting prices from a provider
------------------------------

[](#getting-prices-from-a-provider)

All clients extend the abstract PriceClient class. As an example, get prices from Abe Books for a group of ISBNs is done as follows:

```
$isbns = [
    // ISBNS
];
$abeBooks = new AbeBooksPriceClient([
    'access_key' =>
]);

$prices = $abeBooks->getPricesForIsbns($isbns);
```

Including in your project
-------------------------

[](#including-in-your-project)

Add the following to your `composer.json` file:

```
"require": {
        "packbackbooks/textbook-prices": "~0.1.4"
}
```

You must also have `"minimum-stability": "dev"` in your `composer.json` file so that Composer can fetch `dev-master` versions of packages.
