Manage posts on a self-hosted WordPress site via the REST API

Steps

1. Query the base route /wp-json/wp/v2/posts on the site to list posts, or /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/{id} for a single post.
2. Authenticate write operations using Application Passwords (WordPress 5.6+): generate one under Users > Edit User in wp-admin, then send it as HTTP Basic Auth credentials.
3. Use POST to /wp-json/wp/v2/posts with a JSON body (title, content, status) to create or publish a post programmatically.
4. Paginate large collections with the page and per_page query parameters -- per_page can go up to 100 per request.
5. Consult developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/posts/ for the full field and parameter reference.
