Question 1

Is this Echo?

Accepted Answer

No. Echo is a cataloged integration for content analytics. api.platphormnews.com is PlatPhorm API, the API front door and system of record.

Question 2

Can I read the catalog without a key?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Public-safe catalog, docs, OpenAPI, schemas, recipes, governance, parity, health, discovery files, and read-only MCP introspection are public.

Question 3

What requires PLATPHORM_API_KEY?

Accepted Answer

Mutations, registry sync, protected downstream calls, report generation with sensitive data, SDK publishing, webhook triggering, private audit logs, private traces, and admin jobs.

Question 4

Are OpenContent and Podcasts real products here?

Accepted Answer

Yes. They are first-class API products. Their live downstream OpenAPI/MCP status is marked degraded until a registry sync verifies it.

Question 5

Does the gateway proxy arbitrary URLs?

Accepted Answer

No. Gateway calls must reference registered service/operation IDs and pass trusted-domain, auth, redaction, timeout, and runtime-mode checks.
