WP-API select custom taxonomy when creating a post

Question

I am using POSTMAN to test out some API Routes using WP-API. I have created a custom post type called timeslot and have associated a custom taxonomy called location to that post type.

When I am trying to create a new post, how can I select the taxonomy term associated with the new timeslot? I have tried submitting the taxonomy ID with the taxonomy name {'location' : 128}, but that does not seem to work.

Attached is a screenshot of how I am posting the query in POSTMAN.

I'm looking for the same answer, but looking at the WP REST API documentation it seems you can't do it. In the Create a Post section you'll see the API only accepts these arguments:

• date
• date_gmt
• password
• slug
• status
• title
• content
• author
• excerpt
• featured_media
• comment_status
• ping_status
• format
• sticky
• categories
• tags
