## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need verbatim text excerpts from Treasure Island with source citations, rather than a generated summary or AI-written answer. Ideal for literature research, quote verification, essay writing, or any task requiring grounded, citable text from the original novel. Not suitable for questions about other books or for generating synthesized answers.

## Known failure modes

- Question field missing or empty — endpoint likely returns an error or empty result
- Limit exceeds 15 — may be clamped or rejected
- Question about a different book returns no relevant passages
- Vague or very short question may yield low-relevance passages
- Payment not completed (x402 flow) — request rejected before retrieval

## How this service works

Ask a question about Treasure Island and get back the most relevant passages from the book itself, with chapter and location citations. Retrieval only — full-text search, not a generated summary or answer. No license, no API key required.

## Output

A ranked list of up to 15 passages (default 5) from the full text of Treasure Island, each accompanied by chapter and location citations, that best match the submitted question. No generated summaries — raw excerpts from the source text.
