wordpress.com hosting - Rest API in self-hosted page doesn't work

Your question should be specific to WordPress. Generic PHP/JS/SQL/HTML/CSS questions might be better asked at Stack Overflow or another appropriate Stack Exchange network site. Third-party plugins and themes are off-topic for this site; they are better asked about at their developers' support routes.

First of all, I'm a total WordPress newbie and I genuinely couldn't find an answer to my question:

I have a site hosted in WordPress () which I'm planning to use as a testing API endpoint, however, when I test the endpoint I get a Page not found.

I'm reading the documentation and it seems like WordPress has integrated Rest API to the core so in technically this should work without any plug-ins?

Am I missing something?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

• wordpress is not self-hosted. "Self-hosted" refers to sites that are not on WordPress. The API works differently on WordPress. developer.wordpress/docs/api – Jacob Peattie Commented Dec 4, 2018 at 12:01
• Yes, I'm editing that part. I meant hosted on WP :) – Teknotica Commented Dec 4, 2018 at 12:14

I'm pretty sure you're not using self-hosted WP, since you clearly mentioned that your site is running on wordpress...

And if it really is hosted on WordPress, then you'll have to use REST API a little bit different.

Your API is available here:

https://public-api.wordpress/wp/v2/sites/srebelo80.wordpress

Here you can find Console - you can use it for easy testing: https://developer.wordpress/docs/api/console/
