Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/aeWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you specifically need to browse or list the curated AE subject-category public-domain books (primarily Encyclopaedia Britannica 11th Edition volumes covering Banks through Bassoon and related entries). Prefer this over full-text search when you want a ranked catalogue overview rather than passage-level results, and when you need the drill-down routes to subsequently fetch complete texts.

- Payment of 0.003 USDC not provided — 402 Payment Required response
- Network or service unavailability — connection timeout or 5xx error
