Title: REST API Broken Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # REST API Broken * Resolved [antoine64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoine64/) * (@antoine64) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/) * The REST API is totally broken for 2 blogs of mine. When I use a public API method like [https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/mywebsite.com/posts/](https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/mywebsite.com/posts/) I got this message : `{"error":"token_target_mismatch","message":"The authorization token does not match the API target."}` * This method is public and doesn’t need any token. I use it for months without authentication. * The API worked fine few days ago. My blogs are self-hosted, use Jetpack (2.3.2) and JSON API is activated. * Is someone has an idea ? Has API changed recently ? There is no message about that on the documentation [http://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/](http://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/) * [http://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/page/2/?output_format=md) * [rmarliere](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rmarliere/) * (@rmarliere) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964184) * I’m having the exactly same issue. Did you fixed it? I already tried to reconnect the jetpack but with no success. * Thread Starter [antoine64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoine64/) * (@antoine64) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964188) * No I didn’t. * I also tried to reconnect jetpack, no success. * I use the REST API in mobile apps so it’s a big problem for me :/ I tried to contact the wordpress team on twitter about that but I didn’t get an answer. I hope they will see this post soon. * [Beren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berenerchamion/) * (@berenerchamion) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964192) * Having a similar issue as well. The Jetpack page says I am connected, but the API interface is not working. The debug page says my site is unable to communicate with Jetpack. I tried deactivating all plugins and switched to 2012 theme, but still I have the issue. * Have you tried all those things? Same results? * I am able to pull up my XMLRPC page ok. * Thread Starter [antoine64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoine64/) * (@antoine64) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964193) * I didn’t know the existence of the debug page ! I have the same problem as you on the debug page berenerchamion, here is the result of the Jetpack debug page: * ``` It looks like your site can not communicate properly with Jetpack. SELF: Array ( [headers] => Array ( [server] => nginx [date] => Sun, 28 Jul 2013 14:30:05 GMT [content-type] => text/plain;charset=utf-8 [connection] => close [x-pingback] => http://jetpack.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php [expires] => Wed, 11 Jan 1984 05:00:00 GMT [cache-control] => no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=60 [pragma] => no-cache [x-hacker] => Jetpack Test ) [body] => {"error":"Unknown Error","error_description":"An unknown error has occurred."} [response] => Array ( [code] => 400 [message] => Bad Request ) [cookies] => Array ( ) [filename] => ) ``` * I didn't change anything on my 2 blogs so it can't be related to a theme or plugin. I think it's a problem in the plugin or on the jetpack servers. * [sarbjitarora](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sarbjitarora/) * (@sarbjitarora) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964194) * I am facing the same issue. It was working fine earlier. Something is broken with the REST API * [Beren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berenerchamion/) * (@berenerchamion) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964197) * I fixed my access. What I did was disconnect my Jetpack completely and then re- connect it. I noticed that I had two connection indicators on teh Jetpack page, but when I disconnect both and then re-connected Jetpack now I have only one and the REST APIs work again. * They even work when I have W3TC turned on with minification! Super! * beren * Thread Starter [antoine64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoine64/) * (@antoine64) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964199) * Where do you find two indicators ? I found one on the top of the Jetpack administration page. It says “Connected to WordPress.com”. But I cannot find a second indicator! * I already tried to disconnect and re-connect Jetpack but with no effect 🙁 * [Beren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berenerchamion/) * (@berenerchamion) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964200) * I had a second one right there – very odd – but now it is gone. * [Beren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berenerchamion/) * (@berenerchamion) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964201) * Well – back to broken – simple requests like this: * [https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/tarnaeluin.houseofbeor.net/posts?pretty=1&number=5](https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/tarnaeluin.houseofbeor.net/posts?pretty=1&number=5) * fail with: { “error”: “token_target_mismatch”, “message”: “The authorization token does not match the API target.” } * [Beren](https://wordpress.org/support/users/berenerchamion/) * (@berenerchamion) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964209) * Yeah I can definitely see that there must be something broken in Jetpack. From curl this command works: * curl ‘[https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/en.blog.wordpress.com/posts/7/?pretty=1’](https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/en.blog.wordpress.com/posts/7/?pretty=1’); * But if I change out the hostname and a post number for my own site I get the token mismatch above even though this call you don’t need a token for. * [Matthew Boynes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mboynes/) * (@mboynes) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964216) * This is also broken for me, same issue as described above. * Thread Starter [antoine64](https://wordpress.org/support/users/antoine64/) * (@antoine64) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964218) * You’re right berenerchamion : REST API works for the official wordpress blog, and I think for all wordpress.com blogs but it is broken for all self-hosted blogs. * We’re waiting for WordPress team support ! * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-broken/#post-3964225) * Thank you all for the reports!
