Rest API Json Schema is invalid

[bukowa]

Hello i tried to validate JSON SCHEMA using online validators from ​https://json-schema.org/implementations.html#validators

Looks like the schema does not pass any validator. I would like to generate some client code in different languages but all of them says schema is invalid.

Overall i couldn't find a way to get the schema directly from wordpress documentation. After some googling i found out i have to call curl -X OPTIONS https://mydomain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts and then there's a nested 'schema' property.

Also the docs at ​https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/posts/ are kinda missleading because for the 'content' it says 'object' - so that can be actually anything?

I would really like to work with wordpress and the REST API it provides but overall i find it pretty difficult.

I found out the OPTIONS is actually in the documenation at: ​https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/#a-distributed-api

It says:

or via an OPTIONS request to any endpoint, allowing human- or machine-discovery of endpoint capabilities.

Is the format returned by that request following any standard beside the "schema" which is json-schema v4 ?

The WordPress REST API schema follows the ​JSON-schema draft 6 specification. I tested a few endpoint schemas with some online validators and they passed.

In addition to the OPTIONS request, you can view a site's schema and endpoint documentation via the /wp-json url path for any WordPress site and find the links to other registered endpoint schemas.

It is unclear the form of support you are seeking in this ticket. Can you share what was flagged as invalid and what error/validation output you receive?

As there's been no follow-up since then, I'll close this ticket.

However, @bukowa if you get the opportunity to follow-up to Rachel's question and have more information, please reopen and share. Thank you.
