Using these tools

These tools are completely unofficial, and not affiliated to Smashwords.

There are two pieces of data you will need for these tools:

Book Number
The book number is the number at the end of the book's page on Smashwords. This number is needed wherever a code requests the book's number or identifier.
e.g. http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/87281 (HMS Glowworm) has a book number of 87281.

Account name
The account name is the name of the publisher or author account, used for the author-specific widgets. You can find it at the end of your author profile.
e.g. http://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/ciamarprice would have an account name of ciamarprice
