Google Books API Response to include ISBN

    Missing an important piece of information about a book such as the ISBN (10 and/or 13 or multiple) in the list of retrievable fields has been quite a mystery to me. Not sure if this is a recent addition in the API response but it seems that the response does include the information as I glanced on the Googles site at developers.google.com/books/docs/v1/using

    I see…
    “industryIdentifiers”: [
    {
    “type”: “ISBN_10”,
    “identifier”: “055380457X”
    },
    {
    “type”: “ISBN_13”,
    “identifier”: “9780553804577”
    }
    ],
    …

    The ISBN information is also listed at the Google Books when listing a book under “Bibliographic information”.

    If the ISBN information is indeed available can GBI import it as a custom field like any other information it currently imports?

    Many thanks for your attention.
