Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/sbWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you specifically want a curated browse list of public-domain gardening, horticulture, or botany books with paths to full-text retrieval. Prefer it over full-text search when you want a shelf overview rather than passage-level results, and over generic web search when you need structured, navigable book metadata with no licensing restrictions.
Side effects
- Limit parameter exceeds 50 — API returns an error or clamps to maximum
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure) — call not fulfilled
- Empty result set if shelf index is temporarily unavailable
- Network timeout on slow connections
