    Eridu publishes no developer program, no developer portal and no product API. This document is an
    API Evangelist derivation of the only machine-readable interface the company serves — the WordPress
    core REST API behind eridu.ai — captured from the provider''s own live self-describing route index
    on 2026-08-12. It is read-only and anonymously readable; write methods exist on the same routes but
    require a WordPress user with an application password.'
