Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/teaching-educationWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked list of public-domain books specifically in the Teaching & Education domain, and want reliable drill-down routes for full-text retrieval. It is ideal over a general web search when you want pre-vetted, license-free classic texts — particularly works like Dewey's 'Democracy and Education' or 'How We Think' — without needing an API key. Prefer it over sibling shelves (poetry, science, history) when the user's focus is specifically on pedagogy, educational philosophy, or teaching methodology.
Side effects
- Invalid limit value (e.g. limit > 50 or negative) may return an error or be clamped
- Payment of $0.003 USDC required per call; failure to provide payment results in 402 response
- If the corpus index is temporarily unavailable, the endpoint may return an empty list or server error
- Network timeout if the ranked list generation takes too long
