by NbtKmy · github.com/NbtKmy/zotero-price-checker

Looks up the price of Japanese books by ISBN through the OpenBD API and writes it to the Extra field.

Preis-Checker mit OpenDB has Atlas grade A (recommended) because every code check came out low. It's a Zotero 6 plugin, so Zotero 7 and later can't load it. What to use instead. Last checked 6 Nov 2026.

What it does

Written by AI from the README

Looks up the price of Japanese books by ISBN through the OpenBD API and writes it to the Extra field. Adds tags when an ISBN is missing, unlisted or has no price, and sums prices for items with several ISBNs.

Useful for tracking what a Japanese book collection costs without checking each title by hand. Legacy, Zotero 6 only.
