  version: wp/v2
  summary: Public read access to the Daring recipe library, the largest content collection on the site.
  description: 'Public, unauthenticated read access to the Daring recipe library at https://daring.com/recipes/
    via the site''s custom `recipes` post type on the WordPress REST API. This is by a wide margin the richest collection
    Daring Foods exposes: 208 published recipes at time of capture (observed in the X-WP-Total header), each classified
    by cooking method through the shared `category` taxonomy (Saute 22, Oven Baked 13, Air Fry 7, Microwave 7, Pan
    Fry 5, Grill Pan 5, Dutch Oven 1, Braise 1). Recipe bodies (ingredients, steps, timings) are stored in Advanced
    Custom Fields which this host does not expose over REST - the `acf` member is present but empty - so the API
    returns recipe identity, taxonomy, featured image ID and SEO metadata, and the full recipe must be read from
    the `link` URL. Daring Foods operates no developer program; this is the content API of its marketing site.'

    note: Routes enumerated from the live WordPress route index at https://daring.com/wp-json/ (222 routes across
      10 namespaces) on 2026-08-04, then probed anonymously one at a time; only routes verified to return HTTP 200
      without credentials are documented here. Schemas reflect fields observed in the live responses. Write methods
      exist on the same routes but require WordPress authentication (cookie + X-WP-Nonce, or Application Passwords)
      and return HTTP 401 anonymously, so they are not documented. No fabricated operations, parameters or fields.
