Pretty much wp-load.php is the only way to go. I don’t think there is really another way to load the WordPress functions safely… You can account for path variations by recursively including it from any file where you need it though… eg. function file_find_require($file,$folder=null) { if ($folder === null) {$folder = dirname(__FILE__);} $path = $folder.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$file; … Read more

You’re setting the Content-Type header to application/json and wp_remote_post() doesn’t intelligently JSON-encode the request data (the body array), so you should manually do it. So for example: ‘body’ => json_encode( array( ‘Username’ => ‘myusername’, ‘Password’ => ‘mypassword’ ) )
I’m the author of the node-wpapi library, thanks for checking it out. Unfortunately we do not currently support any external authentication scheme out of the box, because WordPress itself does not ship with any authentication scheme other than the cookie/nonce option (which doesn’t work with external apps, as you describe).
