Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/bjWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to browse or discover public-domain books in the ethics, moral philosophy, conduct, or character (BJ Dewey classification) category — particularly when you want a curated, ranked list with paths to full text rather than a keyword search. Prefer this over the full-text search endpoint when the goal is shelf-browsing or reading list generation rather than answering a specific question.
Side effects
- limit parameter exceeds 50 — likely capped or returns an error
- Payment not processed (x402) — endpoint requires $0.003 USDC per call
- No results if the shelf index is temporarily unavailable
- Malformed limit value (non-integer) may cause a validation error
