Hi all,

Could I get some clarification on the purpose of the “public” routes for the REST API?

In the case of https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=24909, it looks like it’s a public API that doesn’t require authentication/authorization.

However other “public” routes like /api/v1/public/* all require authentication and appropriate authorization. Are these denoted as “public” as we’re suggesting that only these routes should be used by third-party “public” systems? I don’t get it.

Hoping someone can offer some clarification.
