# Registration through Rest API

 * We have a registration plugin that will not allow people to register without 
   filling in some required fields yet some spam registrations are coming in with
   just basic registration info. These registrations are somehow bypassing the registration
   method that we have in place. I’ve reached out to the developer for the plugin
   that manages the registration extra required fields and he told me that he suspects
   that spammers have a way to register with the WP Rest API. Is this correct and
   can I disable that function somehow?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

 * Try run some tests using disable-json-api plugin. This may be useful to eliminate
   REST API as the source.

 * Thanks, but I’m working with a live site and don’t to affect any other plugins
   that may be using the REST API.
