Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/duWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-ranked list of public-domain books specifically on Australian, Oceanian, New Zealand, or Pacific history (Library of Congress DU classification). Prefer it over a full-text search endpoint when you want broad shelf browsing rather than passage-level retrieval, and when you don't need to search across all subjects.
Side effects
- Exceeding the max limit of 50 returns only 50 results without error
- Invalid limit type (non-integer) may cause a 400 error
- Service downtime or payment failure may result in a non-200 response
- Empty result if the shelf index is temporarily unavailable
