This file was GENERATED by API Evangelist on 2026-09-10. AEE does not publish an llms.txt; the site returned a soft-404 redirect for /llms.txt. Everything below was read from AEE's own live surface. ## What is and is not an API here AEE publishes no developer program, no API documentation, no SDK and no machine-readable specification. It sells capital welding machinery, not software. What exists is the WordPress core REST API behind its English-language marketing site at a-fsw.com, which answers anonymous read requests. API Evangelist documented that surface from the server's own route index and OPTIONS schema documents. Treat it as a content and product-catalogue source, not as a supported product with an availability commitment. ## API surface - [Route index](https://a-fsw.com/wp-json/): the server's own discovery document, listing 289 routes across 12 namespaces. - [Products API](openapi/aerospaceengineeringequipmentco-products-api-openapi.yml): 18 FSW machines, production lines and tools across 6 categories. Live at `/wp-json/wp/v2/product` and `/wp-json/wp/v2/product-category`. - [Content API](openapi/aerospaceengineeringequipmentco-content-api-openapi.yml): 50 news and technical blog posts, 14 static pages, 2 categories. Live at `/wp-json/wp/v2/posts`, `/wp-json/wp/v2/pages`, `/wp-json/wp/v2/categories`. - [Site Index API](openapi/aerospaceengineeringequipmentco-site-api-openapi.yml): cross-content search, a 232-item media library, and the content-type and post-status registries. Live at `/wp-json/wp/v2/search`, `/wp-json/wp/v2/media`, `/wp-json/wp/v2/types`, `/wp-json/wp/v2/statuses`. ## How to call it - Base URL: `https://a-fsw.com/wp-json` - Authentication: none. Every documented operation is an anonymous GET. - Pagination: `page` and `per_page` (1-100; 999 returns HTTP 400 `rest_out_of_bounds`). Read `X-WP-Total`, `X-WP-TotalPages` and the RFC 8288 `Link` header. - Trim responses with `_fields=id,slug,title,link`. Inline featured media and taxonomy terms with `_embed`. - Filter products by category: `/wp-json/wp/v2/product?product-category=3` (3 = FSW Machine). - Errors: WordPress `{code, message, data:{status}}` at `application/json` — NOT RFC 9457. - KNOWN QUIRK: a miss on a single-item route (`/wp-json/wp/v2/product/999999`) is intercepted by the edge and returns an **nginx HTML 404**, not JSON. Branch on content-type before parsing. - No rate-limit headers are published or observable. No `ETag` or `Last-Modified`, so conditional GET is unavailable. ## Product catalogue - [FSW Machine](https://a-fsw.com/product-category/fsw-machine/) — 8 products - [Pin Tools](https://a-fsw.com/product-category/pin-tools/) — 5 products - [FSW Tools](https://a-fsw.com/product-category/fsw-tools/) — 3 products - [Automatic FSW Production Line](https://a-fsw.com/product-category/automatic-fsw-production-line/) — 2 products ## Company and process pages - [About AEE](https://a-fsw.com/about-us/) - [Friction Stir Welding (FSW)](https://a-fsw.com/friction-stir-weldingfsw/) - [Friction Stir Spot Welding (FSSW)](https://a-fsw.com/friction-stir-spot-welding-fssw/) - [Aluminum Joining Solution](https://a-fsw.com/aluminum-joining-solution/) - [Service](https://a-fsw.com/service/) - [FAQ](https://a-fsw.com/faq/) - [Contact Us](https://a-fsw.com/contact-us/) - [Privacy Policy](https://a-fsw.com/privacy-policy/) ## Industries served - [Aerospace & Aviation](https://a-fsw.com/aerospace-aviation/) - [Railway Industry](https://a-fsw.com/railway-industry/) - [Automotive Industry](https://a-fsw.com/automotive/) - [Marine Engineering](https://a-fsw.com/marine-engineering/) - [Shipbuilding Industry](https://a-fsw.com/shipbuilding-industry-3/) - [Power Electronics](https://a-fsw.com/power-electronics/) ## Optional - [News](https://a-fsw.com/category/news/) — 4 posts - [Blog](https://a-fsw.com/category/blog/) — 46 technical articles - [Chinese corporate site](https://www.aeespace.com/) — aeespace.com. Behind a WAF that refuses non-browser clients on every path but the root; no machine-readable surface is reachable there. ## Not available No OpenAPI published by AEE, no GraphQL, no AsyncAPI, no webhooks, no MCP server, no A2A agent card, no security.txt, no OAuth or OpenID Connect, no status page, no changelog, no SDK, no CLI, no GitHub organisation, no pricing, no sandbox, and no terms of service for the API. Every one of these was probed on 2026-09-10 and each is a recorded absence, not an unchecked field. The WordPress Abilities API (`/wp-json/wp-abilities/v1/abilities`) is installed but returns HTTP 401 anonymously, so no agent tool registry is publicly discoverable.
