Bookitis policy

Source providers

YouTube public metadata is used through the documented API and linked back to the originating channel or video. Book and bibliographic records may use Open Library and Google Books lookup data; source attribution and cover provenance are retained with the record.

Open Library access is human-facing and bounded: Bookitis does not mirror its catalogue, scrape HTML, or run unbounded bulk requests. Worker access is paced, cached, retried with backoff, and identified with the Bookitis research/support contact.

Bookitis policy

Ownership and display

Titles, names, thumbnails, covers, video content, and original descriptions remain the property of their respective creators, publishers, platforms, and other rights holders. Bookitis links to sources, uses attributed metadata, and uses rights-safe excerpts where an excerpt is necessary; it does not present itself as the owner of source content.

When a source expires, becomes private or unavailable, is hidden, or is subject to an active creator opt-out, it is excluded from the relevant public projection.
