  on https://www.vice.com (both HTTP 200, 2026-09-04)
note: 'The entity graph is read from the site''s own live type and taxonomy registries, so the VICE-specific
  entities (vice_section, profile, sp_product) and the VICE-specific taxonomies (byline, sp_brand, sp_language)
  are the real ones this publisher registered, not WordPress defaults. Entities marked public: false are
  declared in the contract but returned HTTP 401 anonymously.'

  label: Media
  rest_base: media
  collection: /wp/v2/media
  operation: get_wp_v2_media

- name: vice_section
  label: Sections
  rest_base: vice_section
  collection: /wp/v2/vice_section
  operation: get_wp_v2_vice_section
  public: true
  note: VICE-specific post type - the site's editorial sections (Pulse, Life, Tech, Munchies, Music, Waypoint,
    Photography).
- name: profile
  label: Profiles
  rest_base: profile
  collection: /wp/v2/profile
  operation: get_wp_v2_profile
  public: true
  note: VICE-specific post type - contributor profiles, paired with the byline taxonomy.
- name: sp_product
  label: Products
  rest_base: sp_product
  collection: /wp/v2/sp_product
  operation: get_wp_v2_sp_product
  public: true
  note: Savage-platform commerce post type; the membership and magazine products.
- name: user
  label: Users
  rest_base: users
  collection: /wp/v2/users
  operation: get_wp_v2_users
  public: false
  note: HTTP 401 rest_forbidden 'Sorry, you are not allowed to list users.'
- name: comment
  label: Comments
  rest_base: comments
  collection: /wp/v2/comments
  operation: get_wp_v2_comments
  public: false

    Declared in the contract, closed on the wire.
taxonomies:
- name: category
  rest_base: categories
  operation: get_wp_v2_categories
  hierarchical: true
  applies_to:
  - post
  - vice_section
  public: true
- name: post_tag
  rest_base: tags
  operation: get_wp_v2_tags
  hierarchical: false
  applies_to:
  - post
  - sp_product
  public: true
- name: byline
  rest_base: byline
  operation: get_wp_v2_byline
  applies_to:
  - post
  - page
  - attachment
  - revision
  - wp_template
  - wp_template_part
  - jetpack_form
  public: true
  note: VICE-specific. Authorship is modelled as a TAXONOMY term, not as the WordPress user - which is
    why /wp/v2/users is closed while bylines read anonymously. The byline-manager/v1 namespace that resolves
    a byline to a contributor profile is itself gated (HTTP 401).
- name: sp_brand
  rest_base: brands
  operation: get_wp_v2_brands
  applies_to:
  - sp_product
  public: true
- name: sp_language
  rest_base: platform-languages
  operation: get_wp_v2_platform_languages
  applies_to:
  - post
  - page
  - vice_section
  public: true
  note: The 20-edition split. The first term returned was 'Bahasa Indonesia' with count 12857, so term
    counts give per-edition archive sizes directly.
