I'm trying to call a post from a Wordpress install using WP REST API. I keep getting an error in return and I can't find out why. Do I need to authenticate? One website said I don't need to authenticate for a GET request. WP REST API: Version 2.0-beta9. Here is the code I am using:

$(document).ready(function () {

setTimeout(GetPosts, 2000);

function GetPosts() {

     $.ajax({
        url: 'http://easterly.haamap.com/wp-json/posts',
        data: {
            filter: {
            'posts_per_page': 1
            }
        },
        dataType: 'json',
        type: 'GET',
        success: function(data) {
            console.log(data);
        },
        error: function() {
            console.log('error');
        }
    });

}

})

What version of the REST API are you using? If you're using the version that's bundled with WordPress 4.4 (ie, v2), you'll need to change your url to something like http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts.

  • I've tried that I still get the error. Is there a way to retrieve the error code?

  • What happens if you use console.log( 'error' ); when you get an error? When I try to GET a bogus REST URL, it gives me back a JSON object along these lines: {"code":"rest_no_route","message":"No route was found matching the URL and request method","data":{"status":404}} (which is basically a JSONified WP_Error object).

  • yes, I get 'error'. The Network shows a 404 for that url.

  • Can you please edit your question to indicate what version of the REST API you're using (v1, v2, or the version bundled with WordPress 4.4)? Thanks.
