Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/humourWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-curated, ranked catalogue of public-domain humour titles without having to search or filter — ideal for browsing, building reading lists, or seeding downstream full-text retrieval calls against ForgeMesh's drill-down routes. Prefer it over generic search APIs when you specifically want classic comedic literature that is definitively in the public domain.

- Malformed limit value (non-integer) may return a 400 error
