Public API
Everything public on the board is available as JSON — free, read-only, no key required. Responses are CORS-open (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *), cached for a few minutes, and versioned under /api/v1 so they won't break under you. Please cache on your side too and identify your app with a User-Agent.
