  title: Vestaron Content API (WordPress REST wp/v2) Taxonomy API
  version: wp/v2
  summary: 'Public read surface of vestaron.com content: news releases, articles, recognitions and video/podcast posts, product and company pages, the media library (product labels, safety data sheets, technical bulletins), taxonomies and a site-wide search endpoint.'
  description: 'Vestaron publishes vestaron.com on WordPress, which exposes the WordPress REST API at https://vestaron.com/wp-json/. The wp/v2 namespace is anonymously readable and returns the company newsroom (94 posts across the News, Articles, Recognitions and Video/Podcasts categories), 34 product and company pages, an 829-item media library and a site-wide search endpoint as JSON.


    This document was DERIVED mechanically by API Evangelist from the route-discovery document served at https://vestaron.com/wp-json/ on 2026-08-05 — every path, method, parameter, enum, default and description below is taken verbatim from that descriptor. Vestaron does not publish an OpenAPI definition of its own, and this is not a product API: it is the content API the CMS exposes. Write operations exist on these routes but require authentication; the /wp/v2/users and /wp/v2/settings collections return 401 to anonymous callers.'
