Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/nutritionWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked list of public-domain nutrition and diet books without requiring an API key or license. It is ideal for research assistants, bibliography builders, or reading-list generators focused on historical nutrition literature. Prefer this over a general full-text search endpoint when you want a browsable shelf of titles rather than passage-level results for a specific query.
Side effects
- Invalid limit value (e.g. exceeding 50 or non-integer) may return a validation error
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns a 402 status with no book data
- Server unavailability returns a 5xx error with no results
- Empty shelf (unlikely but possible if index is rebuilding) returns an empty list
