  title: Ascend Advanced Therapies Content API (WordPress REST) Careers Taxonomy API
  version: wp/v2
  summary: Public read surface of the Ascend Advanced Therapies corporate site content API.
  description: Ascend Advanced Therapies publishes its corporate website (ascend-adv.com) on WordPress with the core WordPress REST API enabled and anonymously readable. This specification was DERIVED by discovering the live route index at https://www.ascend-adv.com/wp-json/ and probing each route for anonymous access; only routes verified to return HTTP 200 without credentials are documented here as public operations. The surface exposes the company's News & Insights posts, site pages, media library, taxonomy (categories and tags), site search, content-type and taxonomy metadata, and the `awsm_job_openings` custom post type that backs the Careers listings. Write operations exist on the same routes but require authentication (WordPress Application Passwords) and are not documented here. This is not a product API offered by Ascend to customers; it is the content API of their marketing site, captured for discovery purposes.
