When performing a search for "Vlad Taltos Jhereg Steven Brust" through either the api or the website I get 2 results. One of which is a German version and the other a collection of books.

When viewing the German version I see that there are 14 other editions that do not appear on the search results, some of which are in English. The problem is that none of these are available through the API. There isn't even an indicator that other editions even exist.

I think this may be a bug in the workflow here. Is it possible to make a query that will give me the results containing just the English edition of the book? There are no query parameters that allow me to pick a language.

I understand that you need extra permissions to use work.editions to see the other editions but according to Emily Finley, Director of Customer Care "the work.editions API call is not available at the moment" she suggested I query here to see if there was a way to make English only requests. Also is there a way to query by format as well? I would love to be able to query only Audiobooks for example.

Hey Steven, unfortunately searching by format or language is not possible at the moment.
