Second api wp/v2/menu-items or wp/v2/menus both are showing that you are not allowed to view this content (Even I am using the same credentials for authorization.

  • Who are you authenticated as? Are you authenticated as an admin?

  • "First one is wp/v2/pages is working fine (With credentials it is authorized)" - are you sure you're actually authenticated, or that the credentials were sent along with your request? "using the same credentials for authorization" - from where or how did you get that Token? Is it the Application Passwords section at wp-admin/profile.php, i.e. the page for editing your own profile?

  • The image shown is a plugin for auth and i used jwt auth in that, in postman i tried with basic auth using pwd and username it is working for /v2/pages but not for /v2/menus.

    So, you used your WordPress password? But anyway, try using cURL command line with an application password instead - go to the Profile admin page to generate an application password, then try with: curl https://your-domain/wp-json/wp/v2/menus -u "YOUR USERNAME:YOUR APPLICATION PASSWORD"
