You should be able to use an array or a string to define tags or categories to use in a request.
If that doesn’t help, could you send us an email with the code you used, so we can take a closer look?

Thanks!
I understand that, but I’m not a developer and don’t know the format the array needs to be in. Can you give me an example?
You can check the examples at the bottom of the documentation:
https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/1/post/sites/%24site/posts/new/
As you can see, it includes a part where you define the request parameters. The example uses strings:
array (
'title' => 'Hello World',
'content' => 'Hello. I am a test post. I was created by the API',
'tags' => 'tests',
'categories' => 'API',
)
You can use arrays instead, like so:
array (
'title' => 'Hello World',
'content' => 'Hello. I am a test post. I was created by the API',
'tags' => array( 'tests', 'other', 'tag2', 'tag1' ),
'categories' => array( 'API', 'category2' )
)
I received this answer to my question from Andrew at WordPress.com support:
An example using HTTP array:
title=Test&tags[]=onetag&tags[]=twotag
… a new post will be created with two tags: “onetag” and “twotag”. Note that this is supported for the post creation endpoint as a convenience, and other endpoints may only accept the array syntax. Be sure to refer to the documentation for the specific endpoint to be sure.
Hope it helps someone else as well.
