  I need to be able to POST to the rest API but I only get 401 responses back using application password basic auth, is there a wordpress.com setting that needs to be enabled to allow this?

  Also, the POST is to the sites /wp-json endpoints not the wordpress.com rest api.

  WP.com: Yes
  Jetpack: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  Hey there,

  To POST with the rest API you will need an access token. Please visit our developer resources page for more information on setting up OAuth2 Authentication.

  Hope this helps!
