 * Hi,
 * I am trying to make a basic Android App for a church. I am using Universal – 
   Full Multi-Purpose Android App. I have managed to find the rest API for WordPress
   Posts
    [https://mychurchdomain.org.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/](https://mychurchdomain.org.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/)
   to pull them in. What would I use to get sermons in? I have looked on the internet
   and found things like …wp-json/wp/v2/wpfc_sermon and …wp-json/wp/v2/types/wpfc_sermon
   but neither seem to work
 * Thanks a lot

 * I have been working with API here for a couple weeks and got it to work for my
   project yesterday.
 * I am not sure why you are not able to retrieve the sermon meta data.
    This is
   the post that helped me some what figure out how to use the API. [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-33/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-33/)
 * I was able to perform a GET Request on [https://mychurchdomain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/wpfc_sermon/](https://mychurchdomain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/wpfc_sermon/)
   and I received the JSON in the body of the request. I easily test this functionality
   by putting the url in my browser and was able to see the JSON text.
 * Are you getting any HTTP response error codes?
    The reason I ask is I was originally
   getting a 403 when I started trying to access the API programmatically. I later
   found out that this was because of some anti-bot security that my website host
   had on their side. Once I included a valid User-Agent in my HTTP GET request 
   header then I was able to pull the data. Hope this helps!

 * Hi David,
 * Thanks for that. I am not writing any code but was creating a basic app using
   the app template Universal – Full Multi-Purpose Android App.
    It had sections
   where you paste in rest APIs. I don’t think it seems to work with all custom 
   post types now. But as you mention that rest API seems to work for others which
   is worth knowing.
 * Thanks again
