   Hi there,

   Im developing an mobile version of my website and I have a section, which gets all my post from my wp blog. This is working fine with this pugin.
   But I don't understand how to add a comment or a post via JSON.
   Please can anyone help me out here and show me an example of how to do it???

   I know from the documentation that I need the method submit_comment

   Method: submit_comment
   Submits a comment to a WordPress post.

   Required arguments
   post_id - which post to comment on
   name - the commenter's name
   email - the commenter's email address
   content - the comment content
   Optional arguments
   redirect - redirect instead of returning a JSON object
   redirect_ok - redirect to a specific URL when the status value is ok
   redirect_error - redirect to a specific URL when the status value is error
   redirect_pending - redirect to a specific URL when the status value is pending
   Custom status values
   pending - assigned if the comment submission is pending moderation

   I need an example code of how to call this method and to parse it via JSON.

   First you need a nonce (Number used ONCE), which is a temporary key you'll use to be able to invoke the API with:

   http://yourblog.com/?json=core.get_nonce&controller=posts&method=create_post&callback=?

   This gives you a nonce number (be sure to use &callback=? as it marks the content as jsonp, or you'll get a similar -but invalid- nonce).

   Then use this nonce to create a post:

   http://yourblog.com/?json=posts.create_post&nonce='+nonce+'&title='+title+'&content='+content+'&status=publish (or draft, or leave it out altogether)

   Make sure you have the 'posts' controller enabled in your wordpress plugin JSon API settings. Check this manual for what JSon data structures you can expect back from these calls.

   Now, here's the tricky part: you need to be already logged into the wordpress site, because with this JSon API, you can't log in. I haven't figured that part out yet, so I'm still looking for a good solution myself. I tried manually posting and also width ajax but with limited results considering I'm missing a WordPress test cookie in my headers (at least this is the main difference I see when logging in from the site and doing it manually)

   I modified the post.php controller file to authenticate using user name password.
   I wanted to create post from my intranet J2EE application , and was not allowed to retrieve actual passwords of the User from Active Directory.
   So I created a Super User who has access to create post just for authentication and modified the authenticate() method from post.php to read one more parameter 'wpAuthUser' and let the 'Author' parameter used for post author only.

   here is the URL to create post with login
   http://localhost/wordpress/api/?json=create_post&nonce=12313&status=publish&title=VB&content=VB_CONTENT&author=vb&user_password=admin&wpAuthUser=admin

   you can also refer below link for original concept.
