  So, I am trying to use Node to connect to my WordPress site to get my posts, like this:

  var WP = require( ‘wordpress-rest-api’ );
  var wp = new WP({
  endpoint: ‘https://dellingsen.wordpress.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts’,
  username: ‘dellingsen’,
  password: ‘xxxxxxxx’
  });

  wp.posts().get(function( err, data ) {
  if ( err ) {
  console.log(‘Error!’);
  console.log(err);
  }
  console.log(‘GET Posts: ‘);
  console.log(data);
  });

  This is the error I am getting:
  { Error: cannot GET /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/wp/v2/posts (404)

  What am I missing? Some things I read talked about Permalinks, but I don’t even see Permalinks anywhere on my WordPress site in the Settings.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
