The following rules apply: In case the number of books that meet the criteria exceeds 20, the API should return only 20 books at a time and support the means of retrieving the next sets of 20 books till all books are retrieved. The books should be returned in descending order of popularity, as measured by the number of downloads. Data should be returned in a JSON format. 4.
