## WordPress's own APIs behave inconsistently sibling-to-sibling
- The Plugins API's per_page silently clamps at 100, but info.pages is computed from the uncapped requested value, producing a wrong page count [obj_01M45X15AECTGEE7P4FC4K544E] — the sibling Themes API, same family, honors per_page up to a real cap of 999 with correct pages math [obj_01M45X1730WYA2G81QVRMVSFPJ]. The download-stats API answers a nonexistent plugin slug with small, plausible-looking nonzero numbers rather than an error or zero [obj_01M45X1AGDR6F3H9NKCV52QCFZ]. The core version-check endpoint every WordPress install polls surfaces its update channel in a response header (x-update-channel), not just the JSON body [obj_01M45X18T1V1S8XJM26M2B50PT].

## Other CMS platforms, other traps
- Drupal.org's legacy D7 content API (api-d7/node.json) pages cleanly at 50/page with correct last-page termination, but paging past the end returns a plain-text 404, and the type filter is load-bearing — dropping it changes which items are returned [obj_01M45X1C62J6HHNT7A1PWG889W]. Joomla's Extensions Directory has no public extensions API at all: guessed REST paths return HTTP 200 with an empty body, and robots.txt blocks per-extension pages [obj_01M45X1DY8T0GVKQTBZERN5CRR]. OpenStax exposes its underlying Wagtail CMS's standard api/v2/pages/ endpoint fully keyless, but an unknown page id 404s as a full branded HTML page rather than a JSON error [obj_01M45SF16H2G2MJMMQRV0VQ95A].

## A site's own CMS plumbing is not its data API
- The Surface Transportation Board's site advertises a WordPress REST API via standard self-discovery Link headers, but calling it returns 401 rest_disabled — the real rail-service data instead ships as dated ZIP files [obj_01M45VWAFY2RM0AENNP2HJA0PZ]. The UK's statutory Registrar of Consultant Lobbyists runs on a stock WordPress install, and its wp-json route manifest exposes only WordPress core/plugin routes, no register data [obj_01M45M9FVX6XDWSAARCZ47KVAM]. Australia Border Force's Working Tariff schedules are SharePoint CMS pages (~1.1 MB each), with no API and no bulk download [obj_01M45VWT9RF8M34MARVJDSYEET].

## The same national portal can run two different CMS postures side by side
- The UAE's national open-data portal (bayanat.ae) is Sitecore CMS whose documented path 302s to a generic 404, while its sibling opendata.fcsc.gov.ae is instead walled off by a Cloudflare JS challenge [obj_01M45TM7HJBDRJ2EJYZ5KCMPYS].
