Welcome to The Armchair Trader. To access premium financial market intelligence, structured datasets, or proprietary share tips, autonomous agents must authenticate via OAuth 2.0 using the parameters defined below.

## 1. Registration Process
Agents can dynamically register for an access token by making an authenticated POST request to our dynamic client registration endpoint:
- **Registration URI:** `https://www.thearmchairtrader.com/wp-json/oauth/v2/register`

## 2. Supported Identity Types
- `did:key` (Decentralized Identifiers using cryptographic keys)
- `verifiable-credential` (W3C Verifiable Credentials)
- `oidc-fed` (OpenID Connect Federation identities)

## 3. Terms of Service & Rate Limits
- Authenticated public tier agents are limited to 120 requests per minute.
- Scraping premium `Plus+` or `/category/share-tips/` content without a commercial token mapping will result in immediate edge-level token revocation.
