# Authentication & Authorization

## Public Frontend Routes
All frontend routes on AnimeDives are **publicly accessible** without authentication or OAuth credentials.

No OAuth grants, API keys, or login credentials are required to browse the site.

## Protected API Routes
The internal API endpoints under `/api/*` require a pre-shared bearer token
for authorized access. These routes are not part of the public website experience.

For public discovery, use the well-known endpoints and the site's pages directly.
