  Live HTTP probes of the WordPress REST API route descriptors served by
  www.campbells.com and www.thecampbellscompany.com, 2026-09-05.
description: >-
  Campbell's publishes no OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL, gRPC or WSDL contract and
  runs no developer portal. It does, however, serve a live, public,
  unauthenticated WordPress REST API on its own consumer and corporate domains,
  and WordPress ships a self-describing route descriptor at each namespace root.
  Those descriptors are the only machine-readable contract Campbell's actually
  serves, so they are captured here verbatim as fetched. Nothing in this
  directory was authored or reshaped by the pipeline.
notes: |
  The Campbell's Kitchen Developer API (developer.campbellskitchen.com), which the
  catalog carried as this company's API, no longer resolves in DNS. See
  lifecycle/campbells-lifecycle.yml for the retirement evidence.

  A second surface exists but could not be reached: api.campbells.com is an
  Apigee-managed gateway (TLS certificate OV-issued to "The Campbell's Company",
  CN=api.campbells.com) that answers every path with the Apigee router fault
  `messaging.adaptors.http.flow.ApplicationNotFound`. Proxies are deployed on
  basepaths that are not published anywhere, and this pipeline does not guess
  paths, so the gateway is recorded as observed-but-undocumented rather than
  catalogued as an API.

      Namespace index for the consumer site. Carries every route, its HTTP
      methods, and per-argument type/required/default metadata. Campbell's own
      custom post types are `recipe`, `product`, `external_product` and
      `csc_faq`; the `csc_*` taxonomies (Campbell Soup Company) are theirs too.

      The recipe/product search namespace that powers www.campbells.com/all-recipes/.
      Backed by Yext (responses carry `yextValue` and `ce_recipe` entity types).

      Email subscription and preference-centre write surface. Documented here for
      completeness only; it accepts personal data and was NOT exercised beyond
      reading its route descriptor.

    note: >-
      Corporate site namespace index. Custom post types are `csc_faq`,
      `csc_person` and `csc_resource`, with `csc_brand`, `csc_person_group`
      and `csc_resource_cat` taxonomies.
misses:
  - url: https://developer.campbellskitchen.com/
    http_status: 0
    note: DNS NXDOMAIN — no A record for developer.campbellskitchen.com.
  - url: https://www.campbellskitchen.com/
    http_status: 0
    note: DNS resolves (20.81.26.235) but the TLS connection is not served.
  - url: https://api.campbells.com/openapi.json
    http_status: 404
    note: >-
      Apigee router fault; also probed /openapi.yaml, /swagger.json,
      /v1/openapi.json, /api-docs, /docs, /redoc — all the same fault.
  - url: https://www.campbells.com/wp-json/
    http_status: 404
    note: >-
      The WordPress REST index route is filtered off, so namespaces cannot be
      enumerated from the root. The two custom namespaces recorded above were
      found in the site's own page markup, not guessed.

    http_status: 404
    note: No GraphQL surface.
