I was just doing this earlier, if you are trying to simply get user data from your wordpress website with Postman just simply do a request to:
/wp-json/wp/v2/users/
or directly to your user number:
/wp-json/wp/v2/users/User Number here
(you will need ACF to REST API plugin ) so you can see the endpoint acf field below author and template. If you use ACF
It seems that you are trying to get data securely or post data then I would recommend the following:
install: JWT Authentication for WP-API plugin
then edit your
.htaccess and add:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]
and also add the following to your wp-config.php
define('JWT_AUTH_SECRET_KEY', 'any-secret-code-you-want');
define('JWT_AUTH_CORS_ENABLE', true);
And finally you will need to send a POST request in Postman to:
/wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token with the Header:
Content-Type
application/json
and the body:
{
"username": "WordPressUserName",
"password": "WordPressPassword"
}
Now Copy the Token in your results and create a new POST in Postman
and in the Headers add:
Authorization
Bearer **InsertYourToken**
And now you should have access to easly GET and POST data from your wordpress website.
