    Karin,

    So i disabled the authentication and im still getting a 401 error code when trying to POST. Is there something in the API that is protecting this ? If i do a POST from the API Console in wordpress i can do it successfully. Im testing this through Postman.

    Hi,

    Install plugin https://github.com/WP-API/OAuth1 ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-oauth1/ )

    This plugins add 3 endpoints for authentications under route “oauth1”

    

    authentication": {
    "oauth1": {
        "request": "http://www.yoursite.com/oauth1/request",
        "authorize": "http://www.yoursite.com/oauth1/authorize",
        "access": "http://www.yoursite.com/oauth1/access",
        "version": "0.1"
    }
}
    

    The token variable need to set in http request header when making ajax call.
    
For ex:
    

    

    $.ajax({
    url: 'http://www.yoursite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/1',
    method: 'POST',
    beforeSend: function ( xhr ) {
        xhr.setRequestHeader( 'Authorization', 'OAuth oauth_consumer_key=m045BGCecGnT, oauth_nonce=8Biih2, oauth_signature=ibV%2FQq0m7vDC3NrdCo%2BAVmM5Xcc%3D, oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1, oauth_timestamp=1484293880, oauth_token=Uzy2pdmWMVDBznZ3q8iFbB19' );
    },
    data:{
        'title' : 'Hello Moon'
    }
}).done( function ( response ) {
    console.log( response );
});
    

    Please check this example https://github.com/WP-API/api-console which using REST API + OAuth1 plugin.
    

    Thanks,
    
Kiran

    Karin,
    

     Ok after installing everything, cli -console doesnt work with the new oauth 1.0a  . Rather then using oauth, can your api use basic ? Im at a stand still here. Or what else do you recommend i do ?
    

    Thanks

    Hi Ray,
    

    Our GeoDirectory REST API plugin follows WP standard functions for all REST API requests. So you can use any 3rd party plugin or code for REST API authentication.
    

    Please check attachment, i have created sample example to submit listing via POST method by using Basic Authentication.
    

    1) Installed Basic-Auth plugin – https://github.com/WP-API/Basic-Auth
    
2) Extract geodir-rest-api-example.zip in wordpress root folder.
    
3) Browse url http://www.yoursite.com/geodir-rest-api-example/
    
4) Fill values
    
   api_url => Your json api url ex: http://www.yoursite.com/wp-json (without back-slash)
    
   username => user login
    
   password => user password
    

    Fill listing details & submit.
    

    Thanks,
    
Kiran

    Kiran,
    

    Thank you for the example. I did exactly what you told me to do and this is the response i get.
    

    {“code”:”rest_cannot_edit”,”message”:”Sorry, you are not allowed to edit this post.”,”data”:{“status”:401}}

    Hi,
    

    Let me know.
    
1) Are you going to add/edit post as an administrator or an normal user?
    
2) The user credentials being used is the owner of listing? (If you are going to edit listing)
    

    Kiran

    Just editing the post, i used the users credentials for the listing, i also tried admin credentials as well and got the same result.  Could it be something on the .htaccess causing this ?

    Kiran,
    

     I solved the issue.
    

    The .htaccess file has to be changed to this.
    

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    
RewriteEngine On
    

    RewriteRule .* – [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
    

    RewriteBase /
    
RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
    

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    
</IfModule>
    

    Also a user has to be set to author.
