Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/american-poetryWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to browse or list public-domain American poetry books, want a curated ranked shelf rather than full-text search, or need drill-down routes to access complete texts. Prefer it over a general full-text search endpoint when you want discovery and curation rather than passage-level retrieval. Best suited for building reading lists, curriculum planning, or exploring the American poetry canon without needing to know a specific title in advance.
