Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/american-wit-and-humorWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked catalog of public-domain American wit and humor books — particularly when you want to browse or enumerate titles before diving into full text. Prefer it over a full-text search endpoint when the goal is discovery or listing rather than finding specific passages. Ideal for building reading lists, seeding a digital library, or identifying classic American humor texts without needing a license or API key.

- limit of 0 or negative integer returns empty or error response
- network timeout on the paid POST endpoint
- payment failure via x402 protocol blocks response
- malformed JSON body causes 400-level error
