  Upstream WordPress documentation. Uncle Nearest publishes no authentication documentation of its own — there is no
  developer portal, no API key issuance and no signup flow.
summary:
  types:
  - http
  - none
  api_key_in: []
  oauth2_flows: []
  anonymous_reads: true
  credential_issuance: none-public
schemes:
- name: BasicAuth
  type: http
  scheme: basic
  sources:
  - openapi/uncle-nearest-tec-v1-openapi.json
  note: >-
    Declared in components.securitySchemes but not applied to any individual operation via a security[] requirement,
    so the spec does not say which operations need it. In practice it is the WordPress application-password
    mechanism, used only for writes.
- name: none
  type: none
  sources:
  - openapi/uncle-nearest-events-calendar-v1-openapi.json
  - openapi/uncle-nearest-tec-v1-openapi.json
  note: >-
    The tribe/events/v1 document declares no securitySchemes at all, and the WordPress route index reports
    "authentication": []. GET operations over published content returned 200 anonymously on 2026-08-02.
mechanisms:
- name: Anonymous read
  applies_to: All GET operations over published content
  credential: none
- name: WordPress application password over HTTP Basic
  applies_to: POST / PUT / DELETE on events, venues, organizers
  credential: WordPress user plus an application password
  issuance: Requires a WordPress account on unclenearest.com; not available to the public.
- name: Cookie plus X-WP-Nonce
  applies_to: Same-origin browser requests from a logged-in admin
  credential: WordPress session cookie plus a nonce in the X-WP-Nonce header
  note: >-
    The route index advertises X-WP-Nonce and Authorization in its Access-Control-Allow-Headers, confirming both paths
    are wired.
not_present:
- oauth2
- openIdConnect
- mutualTLS
- apiKey
- jwt
gaps:
- No per-operation security[] requirements in either spec, so required privileges must be inferred from the 401/403 responses.
- No public credential issuance — writes are effectively unavailable to third parties.
- No scopes surface; scopes/ is intentionally not emitted for this provider.
