Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/ctWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to browse or discover public-domain biography (CT-subject) books specifically — it provides a curated, ranked shelf focused on English biography and memoir. Prefer this over full-text search when you want a broad overview of available titles rather than searching by keyword within book content. Not suitable for fiction, poetry, or other literary genres.
Side effects
- limit parameter exceeds max of 50 — may return an error or be capped
- payment not completed (x402) — request rejected without valid USDC payment
- shelf temporarily unavailable — service outage returns non-200 response
- empty result set if shelf indexing is incomplete
