Search Chabad Library

GET

/api/search

Search the Chabad Library by phrase or fetch a complete work by page ID. When searching by phrase, the API can use three strategies: (1) default Chabad Library API search, (2) semantic vector search over stored works, or (3) lightweight navigation index search over titles only. When fetching by ID, the API retrieves the complete work containing that page.
