Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/english-poetry-19th-centuryWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to browse or enumerate the curated catalog of 19th-century English public-domain poetry specifically — it provides a pre-ranked, curated shelf rather than keyword search, making it ideal for discovery, reading list generation, or navigating to full texts via drill-down routes. Prefer the full-text search sibling endpoint if you need to find specific passages or search by content rather than browse by category.
Side effects
- Limit exceeds max of 50 — response may cap or error
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) — call not processed if USDC payment is not attached
- No results if corpus is temporarily unavailable
- Malformed request body returns validation error
