WordPress REST API not returning all posts

Question

I am trying to get the json data of my posts. I have tried with both v1.2.4 and v2 of the REST API plugin.

If I enter

http://example.com/wp-json/posts?type=magazine

or

http://example.com/wp-json/posts?type=magazine&filter[posts_per_page]=-1

just an empty array is returned.

If I enter

http://example.com/wp-json/posts?type=magazine&filter[posts_per_page]=80

(or any number between 1 and 80)

all data appear just fine.

Is there a limit? I need to get ALL the posts from any custom post type.

Thank you so much for your reply. It must be that the server runs out of memory then. Do you know what could I do about that? — Jeff, Nov 15, 2015 at 18:36

Try this instead for pagination. It returns all the posts on my site.

http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/?filter[category_name]=country&filter[posts_per_page]=-1

As enhancement the important part filter[posts_per_page]=-1 without a filter, like /wp-json/posts?filter[posts_per_page]=-1

This article has the right answer

Turns our the query parameter is /wp-json/wp/v2/products/?per_page=xx

Where xx is the number of posts you want.

I only needed to get twenty so not sure if there is any upper limit
