Its additional capabilities are:
- Integration with the Google APIs Console
- Library support for multiple programming languages
- OAuth 2.0 support

The new JSON structure makes accessing this information easier. The API can be used on a web page, in a Chrome extension, or on a device to access the selection of ebooks in the Google Books collection.
