Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/technologyWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-ranked browsable list of public-domain technology books without needing a search query. Prefer it over the full-text search endpoint when discovery and shelf-browsing is the goal rather than retrieving specific passages. It is free of API keys and licensing, making it ideal for automated reading-list generation or educational content pipelines.
Side effects
- Limit parameter exceeds 50 — API may reject or cap silently
- Payment not included or insufficient — returns 402 Payment Required
- Limit set to 0 or negative — may return empty list or validation error
- Network timeout if corpus index is temporarily unavailable
