# Google Books volume ID (`google_books_id`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Identifier of a volume, an edition of a book, in Google Books: the id parameter of a books.google.com URL and the volume ID of the Google Books API. It has 12 characters: letters, digits, hyphens and underscores. Google publishes no grammar; the regexp matches 2975 of 3000 values of Wikidata property P675, and the rest are URLs and truncated IDs.
