WordPress Rest API not returning all the posts in the website.

Right now im using https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/ plugin for my wordpress website. When I try to call the JSON responce by using "www.mywebsite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts" it only returns the JSON data of ten posts. How can I get the JSON data of all the posts in my websit.....??

Hi John,

You can pass arguments to the request URL. So the following would return 50 posts;

www.mywebsite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?per_page=50

Unfortunately the per_page argument must be between 1 (inclusive) and 100 (inclusive). If you have over 100 posts and needed all posts regardless, you'd have to send multiple requests and specify the offset argument correctly to retrieve all posts.

A full list of available arguments can be found in the plugin's Posts API Reference.
