Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/paWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked browsing experience of public-domain classical antiquity texts (PA subject category) and want drill-down access to full texts. Prefer it over a general full-text search endpoint when you want to discover what titles exist in this subject area rather than searching for specific passages. No API key is required — only a small x402 micropayment.
Side effects
- Payment failure if x402 USDC payment is not processed correctly
- limit parameter out of range (must be 1–50) returns validation error
- Empty or truncated list if the shelf index is temporarily unavailable
- Network timeout on the POST request
