state.gov Content API is one of 12 APIs that [Department of State](https://apis.io/providers/department-of-state/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. This API exposes 1 JSON Schema definition. Tagged areas include Content, Press Releases, Reports, Foreign Affairs, and WordPress. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, an API reference, authentication docs, API documentation, and 1 JSON Schema.

The Department of State runs www.state.gov on WordPress and exposes the WordPress REST API anonymously at https://www.state.gov/wp-json. Alongside the core WordPress resources the Department registers its own content types and taxonomies — state_press_release, state_briefing, state_report, state_biography, state_bureau, state_country, state_policy_issue, state_trip_travel and sixteen more — giving structured JSON access to press releases, press briefings, the flagship annual reports, principal biographies, bureau pages and country and policy landing content. 473 routes are advertised in the index; 65 read operations are public with no key, no registration and no quota. Write operations exist but require a Department editorial account. The Department publishes no OpenAPI; the description in this repo was derived mechanically from its own route index and OPTIONS schemas.
