I am trying to grab posts and order them by date, in a descending order.
I am talking about this API: https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API
I tried:
http://url.com/json/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[order]=DESC
http://url.com/json/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?order=desc
Neither of them work.
But this, for example, works fine:
http://url.com/json/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[cat]=3
Any idea?
You need to use
orderby
e.g.http://url.com/json/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[orderby]=wpdb_fieldname&order=desc
In your case
http://url.com/json/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[orderby]=date&order=desc
