What is the current thinking on this? I.e., on which URL should this live? Should this go on misc-web, or elsewhere?

I should have CC'd @yuvipanda. I transcribed this task from an IRC chat with him.

The last I heard, we were planning to put ORES at <wikidomain>/api/ores/ (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/api/ores/).

So, we've done a lot of work since we last thought about varnish endpoints.

We now have several routes that ORES serves.

/ the homepage and privacy policy
/ui/ the reference UI for scoring edits with ORES
/v1/scores/ the base of the version 1 scoring API
/v2/scores/ the base of the version 2 scoring API

It's only within the scoring APIs that we get wiki project specific. E.g. /v2/scores/enwiki/ will return a list of the available models for English Wikipedia. If we were still going to make an endpoint at https://en.wikipedia.org/api/ores/, it should roughly reflect that. But in doing so, we'd hide the reference UI from users.

I see two good options.

Add another endpoint to the reference UI for every wiki such that https://en.wikipedia.org/api/ores/ui/ loads the reference UI and https://en.wikipedia.org/api/ores/scores/ loads the base of the scroring API for enwiki.
Stop trying to shoe-horn ORES into a project-specific URL pattern and just host it at something like https://ores.wikimedia.org and allow the #MediaWiki-extension-ORES to include scores within api.php.
