openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Brightseed Site Content API (WordPress REST API) posts API version: wp/v2 description: Public content API for the Brightseed corporate site (www.brightseedbio.com), served by the WordPress REST API `wp/v2` namespace. Read operations on posts, pages, categories, tags, users, media, comments, search, taxonomies, types and statuses were verified to respond anonymously on 2026-07-31; write operations require authentication via WordPress application passwords. This document was derived by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline from the route metadata the server itself publishes at https://www.brightseedbio.com/wp-json/wp/v2 — no operations, parameters or schemas were invented. contact: name: Brightseed url: https://www.brightseedbio.com/contact-us/ servers: -
