Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/punchWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to browse or enumerate the curated Punch public-domain book collection specifically, including volumes of Punch or the London Charivari and associated children's verse titles. Prefer this over full-text search endpoints when you want a shelf-level overview rather than passage-level retrieval, and over other shelf endpoints when the user is specifically interested in Punch-related content.
Side effects
- limit parameter exceeds 50 — likely ignored or capped at 50
- Payment not processed (x402) — endpoint requires 0.003 USDC per call
- Empty or malformed request body — returns default 20 results or error
- Network timeout — retry with same parameters (idempotent)
