    The catalogued surface requires no authentication at all. Every operation in the derived OpenAPI was
    called with no credential and returned HTTP 200 on 2026-09-06. ODNI issues no API keys, runs no
    developer signup, and publishes no authentication documentation, because it publishes no developer
    program.

  note: >-
    The same host advertises an authenticated write/administrative surface that is NOT part of the public
    API and is not modelled in the OpenAPI. WordPress core supports Application Passwords (HTTP Basic over
    TLS) and cookie authentication with an X-WP-Nonce header; the route index exposes
    /wp/v2/users/{id}/application-passwords. Anonymous callers are refused.

  ODNI publishes no authentication documentation. The upstream platform reference is
  https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/authentication/ — WordPress's, not ODNI's.
