Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/sea-storiesWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-ranked list of public-domain sea and maritime fiction books without needing to construct a search query. Ideal for populating reading lists, research inventories, or digital library shelves focused on ocean and sailing literature. Prefer full-text search sibling endpoints if you need specific passages or keyword-level retrieval rather than a shelf browse.
Side effects
- Limit parameter exceeds maximum of 50 — may return an error or be clamped
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient — request rejected
- Non-integer or negative limit value causing a validation error
- Service temporarily unavailable returning a 5xx error
