The REST API did not process the context query parameter correctly.

  • I have been getting this error in Site Health Status, intermittently, for about 6 months:

    ======
    The REST API did not behave correctly
    Performance
    The REST API is one way WordPress, and other applications, communicate with the server. One example is the block editor screen, which relies on this to display, and save, your posts and pages.

    The REST API did not process the context query parameter correctly.`
    ======

    This error happens about once a week, sticks around for 2 or 3 days, then disappears again for about a week.

    Today, when the REST API error popped up again, I immediately created a staging site and deactivated ALL the plugins AND switched to a different theme… but the REST API error continues.

    Is there anything else I can do to try to find out what is causing this REST API error?

    Please let me know if you need any other info from me.

    Many thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.

  • There are multiple factors associated with this issue.

    1. Enable Logs and check for respective error. If you don’t know how to enable logs, here is a code for same. You need to do it in the wp-config.php file.

    define( ‘WP_DEBUG’, true );
    define( ‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true );

    2. Test the API in Postman by passing the same parameters and check the results. It’s possibility that sometime API might be down.

    3. Have you raised this issue with the 3rd party API provider?

    @emahajan Thank you for your suggestions!

    I am not very familiar with deep under-the-hood territory (I’m just a website designer, no developer).

    I understand just enough to be able to perform steps 1 and 2 that you recommend.

    However, I don’t know enough to answer your question:

    “Have you raised this issue with the 3rd party API provider?”

    Which 3rd party API are you referring to and what 3rd party API can be relevant after all plugins and themes are deactivated?
    (please forgive my ignorance)

    thank you again!
