Competely confused on REST API

  • I’m trying to setup Threadreader to post to my blog. The instructions are found here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/37591240

    I have both the IndieAuth (3.5.0) and the MicroPub (2.2.2) plugins installed.I’m running WordPress version 5.5 and both plugins are up to date.

    When I test here, I get prompted for a login, and it works as expected: https://indieauth.com (Scroll down to the Try it form.)

    But, when I test the same thing on Treadreader, I get this:
    {“code”:”rest_no_route”,”message”:”No route was found matching the URL and request method”,”data”:{“status”:404}}

    When I look at the server logs, I notice significant differences between the two requests.

    IndieAuth
    “POST /wp-login.php?client_id=https%3A%2F%2Findieauth.com%2F&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Findieauth.com%2Fauth%2Find
    ieauth%2Fredirect&state=0fa997183894c018d5ee8bf97e0d04b3&me=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tx
    antimedia.com%2F&response_type=id&action=indieauth HTTP/1.1” 302 –
    “POST /index.php?rest_route=/indieauth/1.0/auth HTTP/1.1” 200 40

    Threadreader
    “GET /index.php?rest_route=/indieauth/1.0/auth?client_id=https%3A%2F%2Fthreadreaderapp.com&me=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.txantimedia.com%2F&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fthreadreaderapp.com%2Fmicropubs%2Fcallback&response_type=code&scope=create&state=4485 HTTP/1.1” 404 116

    You’ll notice that the IndieAuth requests come in as POST requests but the Threadereader requests is a GET request. Furthermore, the Threadreader request appears (to me) to never attempt to login.

    So, is this a problem with Threadreader’s setup? Or is it a problem with my site?

    Note: when I got to https://www.txantimedia.com/wp-json/ I get a 404. I don’t know if this is a problem or not.

    Hello @txantimedia,

    For me, it looks like a problem with the authenticator plugin, not your site.

    You mean the IndieAuth plugin? Any thoughts on why it works on the IndieAuth test? It looks to me like Threadreader isn’t sending a correct request. I’ve contacted their support, but they havne’t yet responded.

    After a lengthy chat on the WordPress chat room at IndieAuth, it appears the problem is that Threadreader is sending a query with two question marks in it. I’ve asked Threadreader support for a response.

    I tested the site with Quil and I was able to post to the blog, so the plugins appear to be working as expected.

    I appreciate that, but frankly, I wouldn’t even know what to do with it.

    @txantimedia ok. Just keep the plugin in mind for when you need to create complex custom routes for WP REST API without touching a single line of PHP code.
