As part of our Special Projects team here at Automattic, we help interesting people and organizations have a great experience with WordPress. Sometimes that involves collaborating to build out new solutions to meet our partners needs, other times we help them migrate existing custom systems over to WordPress.

Pretty excited to see what people do with this new API!
Wow! I would like to develop something using it as soon as possible!
I can’t seem to get the console working (using Firefox). I just get a little circles animating everywhere but no results to queries.
Which version of Firefox and which operating system? Does the sidebar load? (I’m assuming yes since you can try to run queries). Does the loading circle come after you hit submit? And finally, does loading https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/console/ directly (without the rest of the website) look better?
Hi Justin, I’m using Firefox 11.0 on Win7 x64. I get a loading circle in the top left (ie inside what should be the “REFERENCE” box?), and when I hit submit, a new section appears in the larger window on the right, saying “GET /me” (or whatever the query I’m trying to use) and with a loading circle to the right. I have also tried the direct link you mention – no difference.
I’ve also tried with Safari 5.1.5 on the same machine – the overall look is the same, but the same behaviour (just getting loading circles).
Same thing in IE9, but the loading circles don’t animate.
I can query the API directly, using the URL (eg http://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1/sites/33534099/posts/43/?pretty=true), but just can’t use Console in any browser. đŚ
Thanks for the additional details. We’ll see if we can reproduce the issue.
Mary — are you logged into WordPress.com when you’re seeing these problems? The console is only accessible when you are logged in (even though some API endpoints are accessible *without* being logged in).
Hi guys, can anyone help me with the worpress api integration with ruby , i m using oauth2 ruby gem for authentication whenever i try to create an access_token it gives me Oauth2::error
Hi, the contact form is the best place to ask for help getting started with the APIs.
Hi, thanks for this useful tool.
It is great being able to access the Freshly Pressed sites. Are you planning to add access for the Reader sites, such as
http://wordpress.com/#!/read/topic/life/
http://wordpress.com/#!/read/topic/music
… etc
We’re definitely planning to increase the coverage/functionality of the API in the future, we’re just settling it in and making sure it’s robust for now đ
Hi,
Thanks for this useful API. Just wanted to know how can I get the attachments associated with my post. I know ‘attachments’ are objects (Hash of post attachments (keyed by attachment ID)). But how can I get the attachment ID? Thanks in advance.
Actually there is currently no way of doing this, thanks for pointing that out. We’ll include this in a future update to the API.
Hi, is this the best place to report bugs?
For this post
http://realmomtime.wordpress.com/2012/11/05/c-bday-westin-mission-hills/
I make a call to GET site/$sites and it reports back 5 attachments (numbered 4115 to 4119). But if you look at the HTML source code, or the page, you can see it has 26 photos in this post.
