Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://library.forgemesh.io/world-war-iWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a curated, ranked list of public-domain World War I books without requiring any API key or license. It is ideal for building reading lists, bibliographies, or seeding further full-text retrieval. Prefer this over a full-text search endpoint when you want broad discovery of WWI titles rather than passage-level search within a specific book.
Side effects
- Invalid limit value (e.g. exceeds 50 or is negative) may return an error or be clamped to defaults
- Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 status before any book data is returned
- Shelf may return fewer than requested results if the corpus has fewer matching books available
