The Deathspot UG API powers the public map. Use it to read danger spots, report new ones,
confirm or deny existing spots, flag problems for moderators, and check a route for danger
spots.

- **No API key.** The public API is anonymous. Visitors are told apart by a salted,
  non-reversible hash of their IP address and user agent, which is used only for
  one-vote-per-spot and rate limits.
- **JSON in, JSON out.** Send `Content-Type: application/json` on every `POST`.
- **Uganda only.** Coordinates must fall inside Uganda's bounding box
  (latitude −1.6 to 4.3, longitude 29.5 to 35.1).
- **Rate limited.** Every endpoint returns `RateLimit-Limit`, `RateLimit-Remaining`,
  `RateLimit-Reset` and `RateLimit-Policy` headers, and `429` with `Retry-After` when you're
  over a limit. See the Rate limits guide.
- **Places, not people.** Reports describe locations. Phone numbers in free text are replaced
  with `[removed]`, and moderators delete anything that names or accuses a person.

Moderation (approving, hiding, editing and verifying spots) is not part of the public API.
Moderators use the `/admin` panel.
