openapi: 3.2.0 info: title: Scimar Content API (WordPress REST wp/v2) Posts API version: wp/v2 summary: 'Public read surface of scimar.ca content: news stories, marketing and science pages, team profiles, the media library, taxonomies and site-wide search.' description: 'Scimar publishes scimar.ca on WordPress, which exposes the WordPress REST API at https://scimar.ca/wp-json/. The wp/v2 namespace is anonymously readable and returns the company''s news stories, Science & Products and About pages, media library, categories, tags, taxonomies, content-type discovery and a site-wide search endpoint as JSON. This document was DERIVED mechanically by API Evangelist from the route-discovery document served at https://scimar.ca/wp-json/ on 2026-08-26 — every path, method and parameter below is taken verbatim from that descriptor. Scimar does not publish an OpenAPI definition of its own, and this is not a product API: it is the content API the CMS exposes. Write operations exist on these routes but require authentication (WordPress Application Passwords over HTTP Basic); anonymous GET /wp/v2/settings returns 401 and GET /wp/v2/users 302-redirects.' contact: name: Scimar url: https://scimar.ca/about/contact/ x-derived-by: API Evangelist enrichment pipeline x-derived-from: https://scimar.ca/wp-json/ x-derived-on: '2026-08-26' x-provider-published: false servers: -
