  live response headers and payloads from https://insurancecouncil.com.au/wp-json/
  observed 2026-07-25; upstream semantics documented at
  https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/
note: |
  The Insurance Council of Australia documents no API conventions of its own. What is
  recorded here are the cross-cutting semantics actually exhibited by the two live
  anonymous surfaces — the incidental WordPress REST API and the RSS feed — verified
  against real responses rather than assumed from the WordPress defaults.
authentication:
  style: none for public reads; cookie + X-WP-Nonce or application password for
    privileged routes
  header: Authorization (advertised in access-control-allow-headers, not issued to
    third parties)
  artifact: authentication/insurance-council-australia-authentication.yml
idempotency:
  supported: false
  note: |
    No idempotency key header, parameter or retry contract is documented or
    exhibited. Write methods on this estate are not available to anonymous callers
    at all, so there is no idempotency surface to record.
