I can query collections:  
…/cockpit/api/collections/get/components?token=xxx

but, querying a singleton returns a 404:  
…/cockpit/api/singletons/get/home?token=xxx

Any tips?

singleton endpoint has changed:

`/api/singletons/singleton/{singletonname}`

We really need to get more serious about updating the docs… 😅

Actually, there must have been an issue with that specific singleton, as querying a different singleton with the first query worked…
