  Hello! You’ll want to head over to the Developer’s site for this. https://developer.wordpress.com/

  I have been there , that docs are for worpress.com api right , i wanted to know about accessing the privately hosted wordpress site api without adding plugins , all the docs say that you either have to use a basic auth or OAuth 1 plugin ,, i just wanted to know can auth be done without those plugins

  @aditya681 these forums are more for questions about WordPress.com hosted sites. I’d recommend asking here instead: https://wordpress.org/support

  Also, here’s a section on authenticating with the WP Rest API:
  https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/authentication/

  I did a little googling and founds some older tutorials saying you’ll need extra plugins, but they may be out of date or referring to some other feature.
