Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/science-biologyWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked browse of classic public-domain biology and natural science books — particularly when you want to discover titles like Darwin's letters or Pliny's Natural History without keyword search. Use the full-text search sibling endpoint instead if you have a specific passage or topic query rather than wanting a shelf-browse.
