API Access? (kbin.social)

Hi, I'm a developer and I want to experiment with the kbin API. I've found this https://docs.kbin.pub/, but it doesn't seem to work with kbin.social.

Do I need an API key somehow, and if so, where can I request one? I'm also expecting to have some issues with the cloudflare integration, as it also asks to "prove" I'm human when requesting /api endpoints.

I don't think the API is fully up and running yet. Bear in mind that kbin is extremely new software - the first alpha version was put online only a month ago, and nobody expected thousands or even millions of ex-redditors to suddenly be trying to use it so quickly.

Understandably, the dev's current focus is simply on keeping the platform up & running while it is effectively subject to the biggest Reddit hug of death ever. I'm sure once things start to die down (hopefully within a few days) they'll be able to pay more attention to feature development.
