Many developers and top agencies have learned how to use WordPress as a headless CMS, where WordPress stores the content, but Modern javascript driven websites and applications display the content and provide customized interactivity.

One of the key components to using WordPress as a Headless CMS involves authenticating to allow full read, write and delete access to everything the WordPress REST API provides.
