 * There isn’t one. At least not built-in. You’ll need to use one of the plugins.
   Which one depends on which method you want to use.
 * See the Authentication section of the documentation: [https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/authentication/](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/authentication/)

 * You don’t need the REST API plugin, that plugin is a remnant from before the 
   API was included in core code. What you do need is some sort of authentication
   plugin as described in Jacob’s earlier link. The default cookie authentication
   is unsuitable for mobile apps.
