Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/business-managementWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-ranked list of public-domain business and management titles without building a search query — it's faster than a full-corpus search when the user wants to browse or select from a canonical shelf. Prefer the full-text search sibling endpoint if the user needs specific passages or keyword matches within books.
Side effects
- Requesting a limit above 50 may return an error or be capped at 50
- No results if the shelf index is temporarily unavailable
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient or the payment header is malformed
- Malformed JSON body may result in a 400 error
