How this service works
Get notable passages from one indexed book by book_id. Pass an optional theme to full-text search within that book, or omit it for a sample of short dialogue-bearing passages. Returns real excerpts, never generated or paraphrased. No license, no API key required.
Output
Returns a list of real verbatim excerpts from the specified Gutenberg book — never AI-generated or paraphrased. Each passage is a notable or dialogue-bearing segment from the original text. When a theme is provided, results are filtered by full-text search within the book; otherwise a representative sample is returned.
Example use cases
Thematic quote research in classic novel
“Find me up to 8 passages about redemption from Les Misérables — the Gutenberg book ID is 135.”
Sampling dialogue from a Shakespeare play
“Give me a sample of 5 dialogue-bearing passages from Hamlet — Gutenberg ID 1524 — I don't have a specific theme, just want some notable lines.”
Finding love-themed excerpts for a blog post
“Search for passages about love within Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice (Gutenberg book ID 1342), give me up to 6 results.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/book-quotesWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need real verbatim passages from a specific known Gutenberg book and optionally want to filter by a theme or keyword within that book. Prefer this over the full-corpus search endpoint when you already know the exact book_id and want targeted in-book retrieval rather than cross-book search.
Side effects
- Invalid or unindexed book_id returns no results or an error
- Theme keyword yields no matching passages within the specified book
- Limit exceeding max of 20 may be clamped or rejected
- Payment of 0.005 USDC not fulfilled results in 402 response
