# ESCAPE API

> HTTP API for the ESCAPE platform: public reads for products, stories, videos, magazine issues, careers, and bounties.

## Base URL

ESCAPE API requests go to the platform API host, not to HTML pages on this website. Each deployment sets that host separately. Paths below are relative to the API origin. Responses are JSON.

## Authentication

Public read endpoints below do not require a token. Member, vendor, manufacturer, and admin routes require an access token sent as Authorization: Bearer. Sign in on the website to obtain a token. Do not send tokens to HTML pages.

## Public reads

These GET routes return published data and are the stable public surface. Private account, checkout, payout, and admin routes are outside this public contract.
