Yes, that is the expected behavior. Since the publishing market has worked with both numbering formats, a lookup usually accepts both as long as the informed code is recognized by the underlying source.

Book metadata by ISBN-10 or ISBN-13.
ISBN is the identifier used to individualize books and certain editorial publications in the publishing market. This tool takes an ISBN-10 or ISBN-13 and looks up the work's metadata through BrasilAPI providers, returning whatever is available: title, authors, publisher, year, page count and, in some cases, a synopsis or cover. ISBN-13 has 13 digits arranged in parts (prefix, registration group, publisher, publication and a check digit), while the older ISBN-10 uses 10 digits, both coexist in the market, and the same work can appear under either format. People usually search this topic because they want to understand the difference between ISBN-10 and ISBN-13, whether ebooks have ISBN, when a new edition needs a new code and how to verify a book's metadata. This section answers those bibliographic questions from the logic of the editorial record, keeping in mind that how complete the record is depends on the provider.
ISBN-13 has 13 digits split into five parts. The prefix is 978 or 979 (the same as the EAN barcode). Next comes the registration group, which usually indicates the language or region, 85, for example, is Brazil's group, and 0 or 1 correspond to the English-language area. Then come the registrant (the publisher) and the publication element (the specific title/edition), and the last digit is the check digit, calculated from the previous ones to catch typing errors.
ISBN-10, used before 2007, has 10 digits and its own check digit (which can be "X", standing for 10). Validating the check digit only confirms that the number is well-formed, not that the book exists or is catalogued; that is what the metadata lookup tells you.
Take an ISBN-13 with prefix 978 and group 85: it already signals a book registered in Brazil. Enter it in the tool and the lookup fetches the metadata, returning title, authors and publisher when the record is complete, in other cases the record comes back partial or without a cover, because availability depends on the provider.
The same book can carry two codes. Converting an old ISBN-10 to ISBN-13 keeps the core of the number, adds the 978 prefix and recomputes the check digit. That is why historical catalogues and recent editions of the same work sometimes appear under different numbers, and it is worth trying both forms.
The lookup helps you check cataloguing data, build bibliographic references, register items in bookstores and libraries, and quickly confirm an author, publisher and edition from the number. It is a shortcut for turning a printed code into readable information.
Even so, ISBN identifies a specific edition; it does not assess price, stock availability or the quality of the work, and metadata richness varies by provider. Different editions, translations and formats usually have their own codes, so confirm that the result matches exactly the version you are holding.
Paste the code into your HTML and the tool shows up on your page, without J-Kit's navigation and ads. It still runs in the browser of whoever visits your site.
