Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/dcWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked list of public-domain books specifically catalogued under the Library of Congress DC subject heading (history, biography, military history). Prefer it over full-text search when you want to browse the breadth of available titles rather than search for specific passages, and when you want works like Napoleonic letters, Waterloo histories, or 19th-century European biographies with no licensing overhead.
Side effects
- Requesting a limit above 50 may return an error or be silently capped
- Payment failure via x402 protocol will block the response
- Empty or malformed request body may use default limit of 20
- If the shelf index is temporarily unavailable, an error response will be returned
