Example prompt: Can you pull up the curated list of classic public-domain novels about fathers and daughters from library.forgemesh.io — show me all of them, up to 50 results?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-curated, ranked list of classic public-domain fiction specifically themed around fathers and daughters, without needing to build or maintain your own catalog. It is ideal for literary discovery, reading list generation, or seeding a full-text retrieval workflow, and requires no API key — only a small per-call USDC payment.

## Known failure modes

- Requesting more than 50 books returns an error or is capped at the maximum
- Invalid limit type (non-integer) may cause a 400 bad request
- Service unavailability or payment failure via x402 protocol results in no data returned
- Corpus is fixed at 9 books, so small limit values may not reflect the full shelf
