Would someone provide me with the script to identify all books in the Logos catalogue between $50-$60.99. Thanks!
It used to be price:[50 TO 60.99] but that doesn't seem to work anymore. I can do it for a specific price, but not a range. But, honestly, everything that is live in the Logos catalog ends in .99, so I would be shocked if this search misses anything with a normal price in that range. But that is for normal price! There is no way to do it with dynamic/sales price. There is no alternative to setting it to sort by dynamic price and then finding the page where the $50 stuff starts. Since at least 90% of the Logos catalog is less than $50, you will want to edit the URL to plug in a big page number.
I used the bisection method to do it. I sorted by dynamic price (which does not work very well), set the items per page to 60, set it for resources available to me, live on Logos.com that I did not own, and saw the total number of pages for me was 700. So I edited the URL to page=350. That was still way too low, so I did the midpoint between 350 and 700 (525). The prices were still too low, so I did the midpoint between 525 and 700 (613). Still not there, so I did the midpoint between 613 and 700 (656). That was too high (at last), so I did the midpoint between 656 and 613 (635). The stuff on that page was 53.99, so still too high. At this point, I abandoned math and methodical work to go to 625. The midpoint of 625 and 635 is 630 and, lo and behold, the prices on that page start at $49.99! Since the Logos catalog is so big compared to the size of our libraries, yours is probably in that same ballpark too, and you could start with that link instead of trying to justify all of the money you spent getting an undergrad in math.
Justin, I appreciate the time you spent on this project, a big thank you! I'm terrible at this sort of thing and never would have figured it out. Thanks, again.
Starting with Justin's work, I edited the filter to such that one link will work for everyone (until more books are added to Faithlife's ecosystem) by removing account-specific parameters. Here it is: https://www.logos.com/search?sortBy=DynamicPriceLow&limit=60&page=826&ownership=all&geographicAvailability=all&filters=storefront-lo_Available%20At%2Bstatus-live_Status
SineNomine, I appreciate your work, however, I was unsuccessful in altering its behavior to suit my needs. Nothing I did would have the page start at the $50 dollar price range; it always started around the $25 price range. I was of course able to easily change the ownership value to unowned. Thanks for your effort. You can get a sample of the things I tried from the example below.
