Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/blWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked list of public-domain books specifically in the religion, belief, or philosophy of religion domain (BL Library of Congress classification). Prefer it over full-text search when you want to browse the whole shelf rather than search by keyword, and over other shelves when the user's interest is specifically religious studies, spirituality, or philosophy of religion.
Side effects
- limit exceeds 50 — API may cap or return an error
- no books match the shelf criteria — empty list returned
- x402 payment failure — call blocked if USDC payment is not properly handled
- network timeout or service unavailability
