The public read API is anonymous — every read endpoint returns project data without a sign-in, which is what lets the project square work for a logged-out visitor. Here is the path from nothing to your first request.
- Pick your origin. The API is served from the application host. Every path below is relative to it.
- Read the reference. The API reference lists every endpoint, its parameters and its status codes, generated from the served OpenAPI document.
- Make an anonymous read.
GET /api/public/explore returns the public project square with no token. - Sign in for writes. Account-bound operations carry a bearer token; reads stay open.
- Respect the contract version. Breaking changes bump the version — see Stability & deprecation.
