Is it possible to get a list of tags and/or categories for an arbitrary WordPress blog on which I don’t have admin privileges?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi @anautismobserver, you *might* be able to find this with the API if you’re a developer, or if you have author privileges, you might be able to find the tags and categories via shortcode. I’m not sure of another way, but if you’ll tell us more about your goal, we may be able to find options.

Is there a way to get a list of all the REST API Resources that don’t require authentication (such as GET /sites/$site/posts/)?

Do REST API Resources only work on premium WordPress sites? I was able to execute GET /sites/$site/posts/ on the-art-of-autism.com (a premium site) but not on anautismobserver.wordpress.com (a free site).

I would like to request the addition of a REST API Endpoint that returns just the total number of followers for a site, that doesn’t require authentication. (This is information that is available publicly on blog feeds such as wordpress.com/read/feeds/94271045.)

The closest related current endpoint is GET /sites/$site/follows/, which lists a site’s followers in reverse chronological order and requires authentication.

Is this the right forum on which to make such a request?

I have just submitted my three most recent posts above to the Developer Resources Contact page (https://developer.wordpress.com/contact/), which is probably a more appropriate place for them.

Thanks, Sorry for bothering you.
