  title: Brightseed Site Content API (WordPress REST API) posts API
  version: wp/v2
  description: Public content API for the Brightseed corporate site (www.brightseedbio.com), served by
    the WordPress REST API `wp/v2` namespace. Read operations on posts, pages, categories, tags, users,
    media, comments, search, taxonomies, types and statuses were verified to respond anonymously on 2026-07-31;
    write operations require authentication via WordPress application passwords. This document was derived
    by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline from the route metadata the server itself publishes at https://www.brightseedbio.com/wp-json/wp/v2
    — no operations, parameters or schemas were invented.
