Long Description | Everyone who’s anyone in the Harlem music scene has heard of Honeybee McColor and the famous Friday night gathers that fill her brownstone to bursting. In the early 1960s, nowhere but “The Big House” attracts so many renowned jazz and blues musicians--and no one but Miss Honeybee attracts such talented lost souls as Forestine Bent and Viola Bembrey. The two women come from opposite worlds: one from the Brooklyn projects, the other from the Baptist, rural South. Both know that they belong elsewhere. A rare and extraordinary singer, Forestine aims to be a star. And Viola, stifled by her religious upbringing, strains to find freedom. But Forestine’s single-mindedness endangers the one person she really loves, while Viola blindly finds comfort in a man whose wild ways threaten to consume her. With the help of Miss Honeybee and her remarkable friends--Willa, known for her talent both in the kitchen and on the piano, and the outrageous Vernon, who looks more elegant in a gown than any woman--Forestine and Viola struggle to find the balancing point where music doesn’t overpower love. How these women fight their private wars, separately and together, is the emotional core of Andrea Smith’s eloquent and vibrant debut. With a cast of characters as compassionate as they are unique, this unforgettable novel overflows with energy, heart, and humanity. From the eBook edition. |

Making use of the tools we offer
Accessing the data feed using a REST format
The data feed API is URL based, but if you prefer to use the REST interface, you can do most things using that method.
Your API key should be in the request header "x-api-key" but will also work on the URL if you prefer using keycode=????????
When accessing the API using REST, the URL needs to be in this format:
https://eandata.com/feed/{version}/{action}/{dataID}/
version: The API version you are trying to access starting with the letter "v" followed by the version number as an integer. (ie: v3 or v2)
action: The action you wish to perform. Not all actions are currently available using the API. The ones that work currently are:
- find: perform a data lookup
- search: perform a text search
- asin-to-ean: convert an Amazon ASIN into an EAN
- imdb-to-ean: convert and IMDB ID into an EAN
dataID: This is the data you are searching for. For "find" this is an EAN or UPC code. For "search" this can be any text properly encoded for he URL.
To get your data back as XML, put "application/xml" in your "accept" header. If you prefer JSON (the default format) you can leave off the "accept" header or send "application/json". You can also include your preference on the URL using mode=json or mode=xml but using the request header is the preferred method.
We will continue to add more REST interface features in the future so be sure to check back on this page every once in a while.
*** Updating data via the REST interface is not ready yet but will require test=1 on the URL as the first variable if you are testing your application to prevent actual data updates. Placing it later on the URL could cause this variable to be skipped if you have errors in your URL.
