No wp-json api in new blogs

    I have created a few new blogs for testing a wp-json rest api tool but these new blogs don’t have the rest api enabled and I can’t figure out how to enable it. Can you please let me know how to enable it and if this is a new policy to have it off by default?

    For example: https://test1326458132.wordpress.com/wp-json gives error 404.

    Hi there,

    What exactly are you trying to do? Sites hosted on WordPress.com doesn’t have a /wp-json page like sites using the open source version of WordPress, so there is nothing to enable here.

    If you’re trying to interact with your site via a third party app or service, XML-RPC is enabled on all WordPress.com sites, or else you can find information on the WordPress.com REST API at https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/

    Note that we don’t provide support for using the API, so pointing you to those docs are as much as I’m able to do.

    Ok thanks for your response. It is useful. I haven’t seen it spelt out clearly anywhere else that there are different apis for wp.com vs .org. They do appear pretty similar though so I can make that work.

    Perhaps the wp.com api could be advertised with a <link> in the html head similar to the .org one?
