I'm building an app using a free Southeast Asian API (no auth needed).

API: Gutendex ~ Project Gutenberg's free books as JSON
Provider: Gutendex (community)
Endpoint: GET https://gutendex.com/books/?search=austen
It returns JSON.

Source: Gutendex (community) (https://gutendex.com/)
Source type: Curated source
Endpoint type: Provider API base URL
Integration difficulty: Copy-paste ready
Last checked: 2026-07-03
Production caveat: Still handle empty rows, schema changes, pagination, stale coverage, and temporary upstream failures.

Help me fetch this and build a simple page that displays it nicely. Include basic production safeguards for errors, empty responses, schema changes, caching, and rate limits.
