The endpoint api.propublica.org/congress/v1/ falsely returns a 403

When you get started with the API, you try to check that you can make requests against the endpoint. However, when you make a request against the endpoint https://api.propublica.org/congress/v1/ you get back 403: Missing Authentication Token. This is extremely confusing and misleading because that's actually not true. Instead it would be great if it could return a 404 because there is nothing at that endpoint or just a 200 {}.

@danigrant Thanks very much. It seems like the language that prefaces that section isn't clear enough when it says that "All requests begin with: https://api.propublica.org/congress/v1/". Because https://api.propublica.org/congress/v1/ isn't a valid request, it's not an actual endpoint to be tried. Am open to suggestions on ways to clarify this.
