Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/f106When to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to browse or list books specifically from the F106 curated shelf on ForgeMesh, which focuses on American social history, 19th century society, political journalism, and disaster narratives. Prefer it over full-text search when you want a curated, ranked overview of available titles rather than passage-level results. Use sibling endpoints for other genres (Sherlock Holmes, Nobel Prize literature, Harvard Classics, etc.) or for full-text passage search across the whole corpus.
