  summary: Public read access to the standard WordPress `post` type and its comment thread.
  description: 'Public, unauthenticated read access to the standard WordPress `post` collection on daring.com and the comments attached to it. Daring Foods does not run an editorial blog: the collection held exactly ONE published post at time of capture - the WordPress default `hello-world` install stub from 2023-05-29 - while carrying 41 approved comments whose author names are opaque random strings consistent with automated comment spam rather than customer engagement. This collection is documented because it is publicly readable and the RSS feed at https://daring.com/feed/ is built from it, not because it carries editorial value. Recipes (208 items) are the site''s real content collection and live under a separate post type.'

    note: Routes enumerated from the live WordPress route index at https://daring.com/wp-json/ (222 routes across 10 namespaces) on 2026-08-04, then probed anonymously one at a time; only routes verified to return HTTP 200 without credentials are documented here. Schemas reflect fields observed in the live responses. Write methods exist on the same routes but require WordPress authentication (cookie + X-WP-Nonce, or Application Passwords) and return HTTP 401 anonymously, so they are not documented. No fabricated operations, parameters or fields.
