WordPress API chart

Source Prefix Pattern Example
Self Hosted time.com /wp-json/wp/v2/posts List posts
Public API public-api.wordpress.com /wp/v2/sites/$site/posts/ List posts
Public API WordPress.com Deprecated* public-api.wordpress.com /rest/v1.1/sites/$site/posts/ List posts

*Jetpack still relies on v1 for certain features. For example a POST request is made for the related feature. https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/{$site}/posts/$post_id/related/

Key differences

  • Self Hosted can be extended and manipulated to meet custom needs.

  • The endpoints for the public api have a few more options like sites and menus, but those require authentication.
