Notes

No account is needed. toscrape.com is a sandbox built for scraping practice: the books and prices are fake (prices in GBP), and the quotes and author bios are a fixed set.

First page only: listCategoryBooks gives up to 20 books, quotesByTag up to 10 quotes.
rating is a word, One to Five. inStock (getBook) is the count in the availability text, as a string.
bookId and category are the slug with its number from the URL (sharp-objects_997, mystery_3); authorId is case-sensitive (Albert-Einstein).
An unknown bookId or category answers input (the site's 404). A tag no quote has answers [].

About these operations

Each operation is a request learned from toscrape.com scraping sandbox's own web pages: API Anything replays it over plain HTTP and falls back to a browser when it must. Read them as JSON.
