 * I take it you’ve tried the documentation?
    [http://v2.wp-api.org/](http://v2.wp-api.org/)
 * Then I suggest you try posting in the REST API dedicated forum. Your post there
   will be seen by those that really know the API.

 * Yep, i have already read this doc, and the auth part is very short. I found more
   documentation on internet.
 * The best solution that i’ve found yet is to use JSON API and JSON api user with
   cookie authentification.
