This p resentation walks through a practical workflow I used to match OCLC number s to monograph and screenplay(film scripts) records using the OCLC Search API v2. The session shows how API queries were designed and tested in Post man\, how different match options (such as bestMatch and mostWidelyHeld) w ere evaluated\, and how matched records were integrated into Alma for meta data enhancement. The focus is on experimenting with search queries and pa rameters—what worked\, what didn’t\, and why. Attendees will leave with a concrete example of how APIs can improve metadata quality\, reduce manual effort\, and scale cataloging workflows.
