Requires the JWT Authentication for WP REST APIs plugin on WordPress 6.9+ for the Abilities API (abilities are registered only when wp_register_ability() and wp_register_ability_category() exist). Every ability additionally requires the caller to hold the 'manage_options' capability (administrator), and every ability call is subject to the plugin's own per-IP rate limit. Configuring auth methods beyond Basic Authentication and JWT (API Key, OAuth 2.0, Third Party Provider) requires a premium plan.
