Discovering public-domain sci-fi classics
“I want to find classic science fiction books I can read for free — can you give me the full list of 50 public-domain sci-fi titles available, including things like Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde?”
Building a sci-fi reading curriculum
“I'm putting together a science fiction reading list for my students — can you pull up to 30 public-domain sci-fi books ranked by popularity so I have something authoritative to work from?”
Checking availability before deep-dive
“Before I start reading Anthem, I want to confirm it's in the public-domain science fiction collection — can you show me the top 20 titles from the sci-fi shelf so I can see what's there?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/science-fictionWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a browsable, ranked catalog of public-domain science fiction titles with routes to full text, especially when you want to discover what's available before drilling into a specific book. Prefer this over the book-specific Q&A endpoints (e.g. /frankenstein) when you don't yet know which title you want or need to enumerate the full collection. It's ideal for building reading lists, checking availability, or letting a user choose from the catalog.

- Invalid limit parameter type (non-integer) may cause a validation error
- Payment of $0.003 USDC not provided or rejected results in 402 Payment Required
