I’m not using Pods.

None of this worked for me.

I also tried setting “feature_image” to an image post id, nothing.

Then I inspected an object returned from /wp-json/wp/v2/posts/<id> and noticed a “featured_media”: “0” in the json, so I tried setting that value to an image post id and it worked.
so my POST looks like this:

{
                method: "POST",
                url: "https://<domain>/wp-json/wp/v2/posts" ,
                headers: { 'Authorization' : 'Basic ' + $scope.au },
                data: {
                title: $scope.postData.title,
                content: $scope.postData.content,
                status: $scope.postData.status,
                featured_media: $scope.imageid,
                post_meta: [
                    {
                        "key": "_thumbnail_id",
                        "value":  $scope.imageid
                    }]
             }

I’m still working on getting oAuth1.0a to work correctly, so I’m using Basic Authentication for development.
