Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/qkWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to browse or list public-domain botany, mycology, or natural history books specifically in the QK Dewey class, particularly when you want a curated ranked shelf rather than free-text search. Prefer it over the full-text search endpoint when you want discovery of available titles rather than passage-level retrieval.
Side effects
- limit exceeds 50 returns a validation error
- network timeout if the library index is temporarily unavailable
- empty result list if the shelf has no indexed entries matching the QK class
- payment failure via x402 if USDC balance is insufficient
