Add from ISBN is one input method.
Select the arrow on the add books icon for info a the different ways to use.

I use a Keyboard Wedge (Mine is a industrial model :Symbol 4004. Others will work, just with a little more care.)
The output is TEXT (as if you typed on a keyboard)

If your App can create a Text file, with 1 code per line, you are good to go as you can use a File.
Note: Not all (mostly older) barcoded ISBN's will be found. Best to process in small batches, so you can manually resolve those 'not found'
