  3Bar Biologics publishes no developer program and issues no API credentials. The WordPress REST
  content API behind www.3barbiologics.com is anonymously readable — no key, token, signature or
  account is required to read posts, pages, media, taxonomies, users, search or the discovery
  metadata. The server declares exactly one authentication method in its own root document,
  WordPress application passwords, and that method gates only the write and privileged-read
  operations that are not part of the public surface. There is no public issuance path for that
  credential, so it is a staff credential rather than a developer credential.

    No securityScheme appears in any of the nine derived OpenAPI documents because the public
    surface genuinely has none. This is a recorded absence, not a gap in harvesting.

    WordPress application passwords (RFC 7617 Basic over TLS: WordPress username plus a generated
    application password). Declared in the `authentication` block of the API root document.
    Required for every write method and for privileged reads such as GET /wp/v2/settings,
    /wp/v2/plugins, /wp/v2/themes and /wp/v2/menus. Credentials are issued per WordPress user from
    the site admin — there is no public registration path.
