How this endpoint behaves

Query parameters:

• language: optional site locale: en, es, pt, fr, de, it, ja, ko, th, id, tr, ar, ru, pl, ro, cs, bg, vi or zh-TW. Defaults to en. Shelf names, titles, descriptions and tags are translated, and each locale has its own library.

Notable response behavior:

• Each shelf has an id (pass it to reelshort-shelf for the whole shelf), a name and ten to eighteen books.
• plays and favorites are ReelShort's own counters. first_paid_episode is the episode number from which episodes are paid (0 when none is listed).
• The layout slots the site shows without a name or titles are omitted.
• Playable video is never returned; only catalog metadata is.
