  I am calling the create POST API but it’s giving me error. Is there any issue with the versions I am using latest versions which is 6.7.2.
  This is the endpoint that I am calling. https://bright-cast.com/wp/wp-json/wp/v2/posts
  
  I am using REST API Logs plugin to check the logs. Here is the detail of the API.
  

  Request Headers:

  {
      "accept": "*/*",
      "authorization": "Basic YWRtaW46QnJpZ2h0********",
      "content_type": "application/json",
      "content_length": "39",
      "host": "bright-cast.com",
      "user_agent": "curl/8.7.1",
      "x_https": "1"
  }

  Body Content:

  {"title": "My test", "status": "draft"}

  Response Header:

  {
      "X-Powered-By": "PHP/8.1.31",
      "Content-Type": "application/json; charset=UTF-8",
      "X-Robots-Tag": "noindex",
      "Link": "<https//bright-cast.com/wp/wp-json/>; rel="https//api.w.org/"",
      "X-Content-Type-Options": "nosniff",
      "Access-Control-Expose-Headers": "X-WP-Total, X-WP-TotalPages, Link",
      "Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Authorization, X-WP-Nonce, Content-Disposition, Content-MD5, Content-Type",
      "Allow": "GET"
  }

  Response Body:

  {
      "data": {
          "code": "rest_cannot_create",
          "message": "Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user.",
          "data": {
              "status": 401
          }
      },
      "headers": {
          "Allow": "GET"
      },
      "status": 401
  }

  Hi there!
  
  This appears to be a permission issue. I would recommend reaching out to the Web Host for the site you mentioned and asking them to take a look.
