Using the wordpress jetpack json api

Question

I've installed the jetpack plugin for my self-hosted wordpress site. The JSON API feature in jetpack allows me to use the rest API (http://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/). However i don't understand how to use it.

https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/$site/posts/

How do i find my $site for example?

Any examples that anyone can share?

Answer 1

Just replace $site with the URL of your site.

https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/www.yoursite.com/posts/

Answer 2

You can replace $site with the domain and (if needed) path of your selfhosted Wordpress site that has jetpack installed.

Just try this example where $site was replaced with discover.wordpress.com

https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/sites/discover.wordpress.com/posts/

If you get the error: {"error":"unauthorized","message":"API calls to this blog have been disabled."} with your own site make sure that you enabled the json api in the general section of your jetpack plugin settings.
