Description
Is there an open api documentation for fetching and/or streaming GCN circulars? I followed the streaming guide but the events sent through kafka do not match the circulars posted online. I am looking for a way of fetching them programatically without scraping the GCN website.
I saw that the website is making calls to https://gcn.nasa.gov/circulars?page=x&_data=routes%2Fcirculars._archive._index but this does not seem like it is optimized for public use?
Thanks in advance!

Research direction
Start with the linked GCN streaming guide and compare its Kafka events with the circulars endpoint shown in the issue. Determine whether a supported programmatic fetching or streaming interface is documented; done means the public API path and its relationship to the posted circulars are clearly documented.
