     apikey={"API KEY FROM DEVELOPER CONSOLE"}
     onResultPress={(book)=> console.log(book)}

      }

You can use this as an API also,

import {BookSearch} from 'react-native-google-books';

  async getGameofThronesBooks(){
    let books = await BookSearch.searchbook("game of thrones","API_KEY");
  }

    code:200,
    data:[{}]
  }
