Step 1: Transfering or importing your ISBN into a .csv file

I used OpenOffice Calc. Then saved the file as .csv with UTF-8, Delimiter „,“.

Step 2: Importing the libraries

Step 3: Testing

whether the ISBN list from our .csv is correctly imported into dataframe. Especially the delimiter can be tricky, i.e. „;“, „,“ or „\t“.

Step 4: The actual working code

including a async sleep(1) = 1 second sleeping function. This uses service ‚wiki‘, as I found it to be easiest to use.

Step 5: Checking resulting .csv file.

As you can see all the titles and authors were found. However some publishers and year of publication were not available.
