Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/ghost-storiesWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked list of public-domain ghost story books specifically, particularly when you want drill-down access to full texts. Prefer it over generic web search when you need structured, machine-readable book metadata for supernatural/ghost fiction from the public domain. It requires no API key and charges a flat $0.003 USDC per call via x402.
Side effects
- limit parameter exceeds 50 — likely returns error or capped result
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) — call rejected if 0.003 USDC not provided
- Network timeout if the library index is temporarily unavailable
- Empty result if the shelf index is corrupted or misconfigured
