## Status of the API surface

StartEngine publishes **no public API**. As of 2026-08-05 there is no developer portal, no
OpenAPI/AsyncAPI/GraphQL contract, no SDK, no documented webhooks, and no MCP or A2A surface.
`api.startengine.com`, `developer.startengine.com` and `docs.startengine.com` do not resolve.
`www.startengine.com/robots.txt` disallows `/api` for all crawlers, indicating the only `/api`
path is the site's own internal backend. Every `/.well-known/*` probe is answered by an HTML
catch-all (HTTP 202), confirmed against a control path — do not read those responses as hits.
