Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/zWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you specifically want to browse or list public-domain books about books themselves — topics like bookbinding, book care, book collecting, and librarianship. Prefer it over full-text search when you want a curated ranked shelf rather than passage-level results, and over other library shelves when your subject is bibliophilia or book-related crafts.
