Get a public offering

GET 
/offerings/:external_id

Retrieves a single offering by its id (ofr_...).

With read:public, a valid id for a non-public offering (e.g. a private Reg D 506(b) round) returns 404 — having an id does not make an offering publicly resolvable. With read:explore on a user access token, the offering resolves if that user may see it on wefunder.com (e.g. an accredited-only or invited round), and the response gains publicly_visible and invested.

Too many requests in a short time period. The API enforces rate limits to ensure fair usage and system stability. When you exceed the limit, you'll receive this error along with headers indicating when you can retry.

Check the X-RateLimit-Reset header to know when your limit will reset. Consider implementing exponential backoff in your application.
