Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/indexesWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to enumerate or browse the full catalog of indexed public-domain books before deciding which title to retrieve or search. Prefer this over full-text search when you want a directory/catalog view rather than passage-level results, or when you need to discover what books are available before querying them individually.
Side effects
- Limit exceeds max of 50 — likely clamped or error returned
- No results if index is empty or service is unavailable
- Payment failure if x402 USDC payment is not processed correctly
- Network timeout if the endpoint is temporarily unavailable
