  Hello, I have been unable to use OAuth authentication to successfully make callouts to the public API (https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/sites/%5Bmy site’s url]/stats). I only get redirected to a 404 page on my site’s base URL/wp-login.php. I’m using the client ID/client key a web app (made in this section of the WordPress developer site: https://developer.wordpress.com/apps/). If it affects anything the site is self-hosted. Please let me know if you have any insight into this issue.

  Hi, are you using the site’s full URL as listed in the site’s General Settings?

  I’m not as familiar with the developer tools, but I want to say you’ll need to use that url (including the subdirectory) and that you’ll likely need to encode the slash somehow. Have you tried that?
