Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/mars-planet-fictionWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, pre-ranked list of public-domain Mars fiction books specifically, especially when you want classic titles like the Burroughs Barsoom series. Prefer this over a general full-text search when you want a browsable shelf rather than passage-level results, and when no API key or license is required.
Side effects
- Limit parameter exceeds max of 50 — endpoint may clamp or return an error
- No results if the shelf index is temporarily unavailable
- Unexpected schema if the endpoint has been updated and metadata is stale
- Payment failure (x402) if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.003 per-call fee
