* Hi all, I’m trying to use the rest api but I get the following :
404 Not Found Not Found
The requested URL /sito2/Wordpress/wp-
json/wp/v2/posts/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.4.18(
Win64) PHP/5.6.36 Server at localhost Port 80
* What did I do wrong ? I’m using postman to send the GET request

* Are you making the GET request against the **_path_** `/sito2/Wordpress/wp-json/
wp/v2/posts/`? Or the **_URL_** for the posts endpoint (`yourdomain.tld/wp-json/
wp/v2/posts/`)?

* You are not using “pretty” permalinks, so use [http://www.michelefaccini70.no-ip.org/sito2/Wordpress/index.php?rest_route=/wp/v2/posts](http://www.michelefaccini70.no-ip.org/sito2/Wordpress/index.php?rest_route=/wp/v2/posts)

* Ah, I see the problem. You’re using the default permalink settings. You have
two options:
- Use one of the “pretty” permalink options ([docs here](https://codex.wordpress.org/Settings_Permalinks_Screen)),
or…
- If you want to keep the default permalink settings, manually specify the route
using `?rest_route=/wp/v2/posts/`(example below, [more info here](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/extending-the-rest-api/routes-and-endpoints/#routes-vs-endpoints))
* Example of the second option:

* Thanks a lot…it works ! Now next step for me is to register automatically my
users to WordPress as they register to my site.I installed WP REST User plugin(
see the following link : [https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rest-user/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rest-user/))
and now I have to figure out how to use it (not a programmer…).

* The following seems to work :
* ```
/* register user to WordPress */
$json_string_data = '{"username" : "'.$usrnm. '", "password" : "' . $password . '", "email" : "' . $email . '"}';
$ch = curl_init('http://www.michelefaccini70.no-ip.org/sito2/Wordpress/?rest_route=/wp/v2/users/register');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json_string_data);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array(
'Content-Type: application/json',
'Content-Length: ' . strlen($json_string_data))
);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
```
