## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to discover or search free, legally downloadable Chinese-language books from trusted public-domain sources like Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive. It is ideal for browsing popular Chinese titles or filtering by author/subject without needing a paid book service. Prefer it over general web search when you want verified, directly downloadable ebook links in epub, txt, or html formats.

## Known failure modes

- No results found for a search query if the keywords don't match any Chinese titles, authors, or subjects
- Rate or payment failures if the x402 micropayment ($0.01 per call) is not processed
- Empty result set for very niche topics not covered by public-domain Chinese collections
- Stale or broken download links if a source (Gutenberg/Archive) changes its hosting

## Output

A paginated list (20 per page) of free Chinese-language books sorted by popularity, including title, author, subject tags, and download links in available formats (epub, txt, html, scanned images), sourced from Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive and re-verified daily.
