  Hello!
  I’m new to wordpress, trying to make use of its REST API. I’ve tried the following URLs

  https://mysite.wordpress.com/index.php/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?per_page=1&page=1
  and
  https://mysite.wordpress.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?per_page=1&page=1

  Both returned ‘404’ not found….

  Are the REST API endpoints disabled by default on wordpress.com? Are they active for certain paid plans?
  thanks!

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

  Hi there!

  The REST endpoints on WordPress.com differ from those on WordPress.org. You can find a list of WordPress.com REST endpoints here: https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/

  So you’ll use: https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/sites/mysite.wordpress.com/posts/?number=1

  You can check out the WordPress.com Developer Console here to play around with it: https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/console/

  I hope this helps!

  Thanks a lot, works fine! It seems v2 isn’t supported yet. How long is v1.1 supposed to remain the current supported version?
