Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/english-fiction-19th-centuryWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked catalog of public-domain 19th-century English fiction specifically — as opposed to full-text search across the whole corpus (use the full-text search sibling for that), or when you want drill-down routes to fetch complete books rather than passages. Ideal for building reading lists, curricula, or discovering titles in this genre without needing an API key.
Side effects
- Limit parameter exceeds 50 — may return an error or be capped
- Payment failure via x402 protocol — endpoint requires $0.003 USDC per call
- Network timeout if the backend library index is slow to respond
- Empty or partial result if the shelf index is temporarily unavailable
