Managed execution
Every figure below is read from the live Apple Books endpoint catalog — 12 endpoints, 57 documented request parameters, and 12 published response schemas — the same catalog Docs and Playground run against.
12 documented Apple Books endpoints, grouped into 7 request families — Audiobook, Book and Audiobook Series, plus 4 more.
57 request parameters are documented across those Apple Books endpoints, 23 of them required — the full input contract is public before you write any integration code.
12 of the 12 Apple Books endpoints ship a recorded example response, and 12 carry a documented response schema — you can code against the real JSON before the first request.
Apple Books endpoints document their error responses (400, 404, 429 and 500) alongside the success schema, so a block, a rate limit, or a missing record comes back as a typed error rather than silently empty data.
12 hosted MCP tools back the Apple Books endpoints, so an agent can call the same routes with the same parameters and the same JSON contract, with no custom glue.
