I just released a Javascript/JSON API to LibraryThing core work data.
http://www.librarything.com/thingology/2008/03/first-cut-works-json-api.php
It's basically a riff on what Google did recently—a way to link to
LibraryThing if we have a book, and not if we don't. It also includes
copy and review counts, and the average rating. It takes ISBNs, LCCNs
and OCLC numbers.
Next up will be a JSON API into member books, so members can design
their own widgets and mash their library up with the contents of a
page.
It's all very beta, and my ears are wide open.
