  I want to use the REST api and expect responses in json as is standard for REST. Yet this request gives me a response in html:
  http://ellehauge.net/wp/v2/posts/
  Also tried some variations like this:
  http://ellehauge.net/wp/v2/posts/?_format=json

  How do I get the response in json?
  I can’t seem to find that in the documentation.

  Sorry, I just realized that this is wordpress.com and not wordpress.org for self hosted sites.

  Found out, it works like this:
  http://ellehauge.net/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/

  Guess I got fooled by the ‘postman’ extension for chrome!
  I started by accessing the endpoint http://ellehauge.net/wp-json/ and then clicked on one of the links and assumed that postman opened it correctly, it didn’t.
