Rodder Consumer API
Rodder publishes live, JSON-safe documents rather than renderer-specific database rows. Authored facts, normalized or derived values, and illustrative display projections remain visibly separate.
Documents
Entity document
GET /api/rodder/:slug Identity, canonical links, authored content and extensions, hierarchy, placement, normalized facts, root-map members, apparent sky, calendars, capabilities, and scoped diagnostics.
Sector document
GET /api/rodder/sectors/:slug The complete coordinate frame, origin, extent, positioned and unpositioned roots, bounds, provenance, links, capabilities, and diagnostics.
Source-aware values
authored contains stored statements exactly as authored. resolved.facts wraps normalized values with authored, derived, illustrative, or unavailable status and a source. displays contains explicit renderer projections; consumers remain free to ignore them.

Named arguments are readable composition. A validated URL-encoded view= payload can seed a complete copied view, and named arguments override it individually. Root playback speed is measured in simulated days per real second.

Infobox projections
Wiki authors continue to use {{Infobox star|from=slug}}, {{Infobox planet|from=slug}}, and {{Infobox system|from=slug}}. Internally, rodderDocumentInfoboxFields(document) projects the public document into the established snake-case field map. It performs no database lookup and intentionally ignores nested extension objects that cannot become a meaningful text row.
Machine-readable schemas
The schema bundle covers entity documents, sector documents, view state, display configuration, diagnostics, and interaction policy.
