    description: >-
      TechCrunch is built on WordPress and exposes the standard WordPress REST API,
      providing JSON endpoints for accessing posts, pages, categories, tags, authors,
      media, comments, and search. The API is available at the /wp-json/wp/v2/ base path
      and supports filtering, pagination, searching, and sorting across all TechCrunch
      content. TechCrunch uses a headless WordPress architecture with a React frontend,
      making the REST API the primary data layer for content delivery. No authentication
      is required for read operations.
