  title: Virtual Incision Media API (WordPress REST wp/v2)
  version: wp/v2
  summary: The site media library — images, video posters and downloadable assets.
  description: 'Virtual Incision publishes virtualincision.com on WordPress (WP Engine), which exposes the WordPress
    REST API at https://virtualincision.com/wp-json/. The `wp/v2` namespace is anonymously readable and returns
    the company newsroom, MIRA and miniRAS marketing pages, leadership profiles, events, job postings and the media
    library as JSON.


    This document was DERIVED mechanically by API Evangelist from the route-discovery document served at https://virtualincision.com/wp-json/
    and the per-collection `OPTIONS` item schemas, both fetched on 2026-09-04 — every path, method, parameter and
    schema below is taken verbatim from what the host served. Virtual Incision does not publish an OpenAPI definition
    of its own, and this is NOT a product API: MIRA, the miniaturized robotic-assisted surgery system, has no public
    API. This is the content API the site CMS exposes. Write operations exist on these routes but require WordPress
    authentication.'
