## How to call it through Zero

Example prompt: Can you show me a list of free public-domain German fiction books I can download — something like classic novels or stories — ranked by popularity, and give me the epub or text download links?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, daily-verified catalogue of free public-domain German fiction books with direct download links, ranked by popularity and relevance. It is preferable to scraping Project Gutenberg or Internet Archive directly because it aggregates both sources, handles ranking, and supports keyword filtering by title or author — at a low cost of $0.01 per page of 20 results.

## Known failure modes

- No results if keyword filter matches no titles or authors in the catalogue
- Rate or payment errors if the x402 micropayment of $0.01 USDC per call is not completed
- Empty pages if page number exceeds available results
- Stale or missing links if a source (Project Gutenberg/Internet Archive) changes its URLs between daily re-verification cycles

## How this service works

Free public-domain books on "German fiction": browse the catalogue's works tagged with that Library of Congress subject (628 in Project Gutenberg alone, plus Internet Archive scans), ranked by relevance and popularity, with direct epub/txt/html download links. Add words to narrow by title or author. Re-verified daily. $0.01 per page of 20.

## Output

A paginated list (20 books per page) of public-domain German fiction works, each with title, author, relevance and popularity ranking, and direct download links in epub, txt, and/or html formats. The catalogue is re-verified daily and draws from Project Gutenberg (628+ titles) and Internet Archive scans.
