Description

Why do I have to add magic headers `-H 'Accept: application/vnd.bountysource+json; version=2'` to the curl command?

How come `GET /bounties` ignores parameter `backer_id` ?

https://bountysource.github.io/ hasn't seen an update since 2014

Research direction

Start by reproducing the documented curl request and the GET /bounties request with backer_id, then compare the behavior with the documentation at bountysource.github.io. Done means the API behavior is corrected or clearly documented, including the required Accept header and backer_id handling.
