Download Books From Archive.org: Search Texts to JSON
Public-domain books by keyword with title, item link and download count. Author and year come from whoever uploaded, so about a quarter lack them.
What this run is set to
The settings saved on this example. Every one of them is editable once you open it on Apify — these are a starting point, not a limit.
