 * I am trying to find a route that will lend me the data with my website logo(header
   image). I have Googled till my head spins. I can find just about anything else
   but no the logo image. Does anyone know a resource that will show me those routes?
 * Thanks
    Michael

 * I would ask your theme provider about the support for the Rest API as related
   specifically to the logo. Rest API needs theme support.
 * It’s ‘newer’ so search within a reasonable past (date) and try:
 * “WordPress Rest API theme support”

 * I searched and searched. No Luck. I tried with twenty twelve, seventeen and eighteen.
   No support for any of them. I don’t care what them is selected in the dashboard,
   so I will choose what ever works. I would just like to know how to find the route
   to retrieve the site header image, logo. Any other suggestions. I cannot be the
   first guy to ever want to retrieve the header image.

 * The header image is not supported by the default API setup. Header images are
   within the theme realm, so offering an API method to retrieve that data logically
   falls to themes. Unfortunately, providing that support is not a requirement, 
   and as you’ve discovered, few, if any provide such support.
 * Your only recourse then is to add your own custom endpoint that does this for
   you. Have a look at [https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/extending-the-rest-api/adding-custom-endpoints/](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/extending-the-rest-api/adding-custom-endpoints/)

 * I have figured out a solution to my dilemma. Thank you to both of you gentle 
   for your assistance. Header images are not supported by the REST API and should
   not be. They are theme specific. If I want a header image, I do, I created a 
   widget in the functions.php and added my header image there.
 * Thank you for your patience. Sometimes it takes a minute for information to sink
   in.
