WordPress REST API has nothing directly to do with the theme, REST API is in the WordPress core, and any plugin and theme can be made to support it. Normal WordPress themes don’t use REST API: it is relatively new part of the WordPress, and so far, very few themes are made to use REST … Read more
You can get the API key by logging into WordPress.com, clicking “My Account” on the top bar, and clicking the “API Key” link.
It’s certainly possible. Just about everything WordPress does, including inserting users and posts, can be done programmatically using the WordPress API. As far as doing it remotely is concerned though, you may need to roll some of your own code to expose it to an external app. Also have a look at the XML-RPC interface, … Read more
You need to deliver another argument – the reassign. “Reassign the deleted user’s posts and links to this user ID.” – WP API documentation Please try like this: DELETE http://web.com/wp-json/wp/v2/users/3?reassign=NEW_USER_ID
You should create a new instance from WP_REST_Response to set the Cache-Control value. <?php register_rest_route(‘wp/v2’, ‘/your_endpoint’, array( ‘methods’ => ‘GET’, ‘callback’ => ‘function_callback’, )); function function_callback($data) { $response = array( 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 ); $result = new WP_REST_Response($response, 200); // Set headers. $result->set_headers(array(‘Cache-Control’ => ‘max-age=3600’)); return $result; } Click here to get more info about directives.

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). There are plugins for authenticating … Read more
Update your function post_form as function post_form(WP_REST_Request $request) { $data = $request->get_params(); print_r($data); }
I understand the question and answer are from more than a year ago, but I just wanted to add some additional information in hopes it might be useful for future visitors of this Question.

In the plugin, create a function that gets and stores in a WordPress transient the result of an API request. <?php /** * Plugin Name: … Read more
