I'm working in developing REST API for a WP based website. Endpoint is http://example.com/api.php I've included wp-load.php in the top of the file to access WP functions etc.

However, http://example.com/api.php is loading normally in browser (not output as no parameter is passing). When I'm passing any parameters like http://example.com/api.php?items=books I'm WordPress getting non found error page.

Most wired part is, when I've disabling Pretty Permalink, everything is working normal.

    Please edit your question and use code formatting for example links and use http://example.com, which is the default domain for examples. Thanks.

    "I've included wp-load.php in the top of the file (...)" is what causing you the main issues. You are practically bypassing WP. Just search and read on other questions that include wp-load.php to find answers on how to do it right.

I can't say I've ever tried including wp-load.php directly, but I've had success using:

define("WP_USE_THEMES", false);
include("wp-blog-header.php");

... when trying to invoke Wordpress stack in a non-templated workflow. wp_blog_header.php does make the call out to wp-load.php but also wires up some other stuff (such as calling wp()).
