Hi All,
I am sure this question has been asked, answered and revised many times and while I have searched the forums, I have not quite found what I am looking for.

Is there/Will there be a way to submit a comma delimited list of isbns behind a URL and have them added to our queue of books to be added to our library?

I found the LT API wiki page but they require you to have already logged in to the LT website and this won't really work for sending isbns to LT from an iPhone scanning app.

I guess what I was looking for and hoping to find was something more like:
http://www.librarything.com/addbook?user=myaccount&password=mypassword&b...

I have found these pages/posts:

1. http://www.librarything.com/wiki/index.php/LibraryThing_APIs
mentions:
http://www.librarything.com/addbook/0441172717
http://www.librarything.com/addbook/the+educated+imagination

2. http://www.librarything.com/topic/109928
Mentions the api's above

3. http://www.librarything.com/topic/112306
Asking for an update and a more involved api than I am wanting

4. http://www.librarything.com/topic/42813
Asking for a similar api as I am wanting. And ConceptDawg says they are heading in that direction (Aug 2008).

I see that there is now a LibraryAnywhere iOS app that allows scanning an ISBN and connecting to LT servers. Perhaps they will release an iOS app for plain LibraryThing users.

At the end of the day, my main desire is to have a way to scan a barcode with my phone and have it added to my LT library without having to kludge it by using RedLaser or Bar-Code to scan them and then email them to myself and then upload them.

Thanks for any help or information you can give me.
