  description: 'Public, unauthenticated read access to the media library behind metalenz.com — Polar ID and Polar 3D product imagery, meta-optics and metasurface diagrams, conference and event photography, leadership headshots, logos and press assets, each with its generated size variants (418 attachments at capture). Anonymous access is read-only: the collection answers `Allow: GET` without credentials. Write methods exist on the same routes but require WordPress application-password authentication and are not part of the public surface.'

  x-api-evangelist-note: Third-party profile. Metalenz is a fabless metasurface-optics (meta-optics) semiconductor company and publishes no developer program, no developer portal and no API documentation; this documents the anonymously readable WordPress REST content API behind metalenz.com. Every path, parameter, enum and property here was read from the server's own published route index and OPTIONS schema documents on 2026-08-25 — nothing is invented.
