Research direction

Start in app/transports/api and read the Go source to identify the backend routes, including /v2/servers. Add a basic README.md in that folder describing the main endpoints and how developers can use them; the issue is done when the public guide covers the relevant routes without requiring source-code inspection.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Following up on the comments in #1222:

It seems the cooool9 was actually asking about documentation for the backend API located at api.open.mp (which the CJ bot uses), not the frontend docs.

Currently, there is no public usage guide for these backend endpoints (app/transports/api). Developers have to manually read the Go source code to figure out the routes (like /v2/servers).

Suggestion:
We should at least add a basic README.md in the app/transports/api folder outlining the main endpoints.
