Every public entry point to the vendor's documentation, one line per link: title and URL, what you find there, confidence marker. The former standalone site mediabeacon.com (including /en/api-documentation) now redirects to the MediaBeacon page on esko.com S21. Documentation lives on docs.esko.com (guides) and on an Esko-controlled S3 bucket (API reference) S45.
