POST request to add new post, returns GET (existing posts)

Hi,

I am sending a POST request to this URL:

https://www.website.com/wp-json/wp/v2/mentor

Where mentor is a custom post type (e.g. pod) I created.

I want to create a new post for “mentor”.

When I send the “title” and “slug” in the body with the right header auth, it returns back only “10” items of the existing posts under “mentor” and does not create a new post as expected.

I have create a normal wordpress post using the rest API. But this doesn’t work.

Why?
