Unable to access API endpoint

  • In the getting started mode of using REST APIs in WordPress.

    Almost every getting started guide or documentation states that I should be able to reach https://mysite.com/wp-json
    But in my case, I am not able to reach that endpoint and I get an error stating my site is experiencing technical difficulties.

    Here is a snippet of the issue I face:

    curl -X OPTIONS -i https://3.130.183.113/wp-json/
    HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error

    What am I missing?
