WP rest api post requestq

Hello, and thanks for trying the rest API! You’ll need to authenticate your post request, so that WordPress knows the POST came from an authorized user. Check out this documentation: https://developer.www.ads-software.com/rest-api/authentication/ and here’s another article walking through how you can embed nonces in an arbitrary JS script loaded by WordPress: https://wp-api.org/node-wpapi/guides/2016/08/12/authenticating-with-cookies.html

Hope this helps

Thanks @kadamwhite for the response.
I want to create post from another website and i have tried basic authentication as well as integrate oauth1 and oauth2 authentication but none of these is working.

Have you any idea why it is not working?

@brijesh2911 Unfortunately without knowing anything about your site or the application from which you’re making the connection, it’s very hard to say. What language/environment are you sending the requests from? Can you provide more information?

@kadamwhite Yes, sure.
I am using wordpress’ default wp rest api feature and WP OAuth Server plugin.I am getting access token when i tried to call endpoint to create post with POST request but still i am getting this response

{
  "code": "rest_cannot_create",
  "message": "Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user.",
  "data": {
    "status": 401
  }
}

Access token is valid though i am not able to create post with json endpoint. I don’t know what is the issue. I have checked database,too and found that the access token is valid for the user who is administrator of site.
