List public offerings

GET 
/explore

Returns the offerings shown on wefunder.com/explore — the curated set of companies that meet Wefunder's discoverability bar (a soft-confirmed traction threshold plus approval), one offering per company. An "offering" is a fundraise, addressed by its id (ofr_...).

Public view (read:public). Reachable with either a server-side (client_credentials) token or a user access token. Private rounds (e.g. Reg D 506(b)) are never listed, and low-traction or unapproved companies are excluded — exactly as they are on the website for a logged-out visitor.

Logged-in view (read:explore). A user access token carrying read:explore gets what that user sees on wefunder.com/explore: the public offerings plus any the user qualifies for (accredited-only / Vault deals, invited private rounds), each checked against the same visibility policy the website applies. The response is a strict superset of the public one — same fields and ids — with two extra attributes, publicly_visible and invested, and meta.personalized: true. A server-side key can never hold read:explore; a token with read:explore but no resolvable user gets the public view.

Order with sort (default: most raised); paginate with cursor and per_page. meta.total_count is the number of offerings across all pages, after filters.

Closed rounds (status). By default the list is live rounds. status=closed lists rounds that finished raising instead, newest closed_at first. It is not limited to one per company or to the curated explore set: it covers every finished round that GET /offerings/{id} serves to a logged-out visitor, for companies listed in Wefunder's public directory. status=all returns the live list first, then the closed list. With status=closed or status=all, exemption is the only filter accepted, and sort orders only the live part. Closed rounds follow the public view even for a read:explore token.

Filters are objective, per-offering terms — exemption family, security type, TTW vs. live, minimum investment ceiling, close date, amount raised floor. The response echoes the applied set in meta.filters. An out-of-vocabulary value is a 400 naming the accepted values. There are deliberately no relevance, quality, or ranking criteria.
