| 2 | |
| 3 | Jetpack's HTTP API is built as an [](http://v2.wp-api.org/extending/adding/extension to the WP-API](http://v2.wp-api.org/extending/adding/](http://v2.wp-api.org/extending/adding/). Thus, you may find additional information on approaching the API in the [](http://v2.wp-api.org/WP API Docs](http://v2.wp-api.org/](http://v2.wp-api.org/). |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## API Authentication and authorization |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The API requests rely on [](http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/authentication/#cookie-authenticationcookie-based authentication and a specific nonce](http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/authentication/#cookie-authentication](http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/authentication/#cookie-authentication) |
| 8 | for requests to be authorized. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | ### API Request Authorization via nonces |
| 11 | |
| 12 | The WP REST API infrastructure requires a nonce for authorizing of the request itself. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Ensure to use the `X-WP-Nonce` header on your request. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ``` |
| 17 | X-WP-Nonce: e1cff122e1 |
| 18 | ``` |
| 19 | |
| 20 | The nonce is being served on the Jetpack admin page by usage of the [](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_localize_scriptwp_localize_script](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_localize_script](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_localize_script) mechanism for passing values from PHP code to the JS scope. It's created for the action `wp_rest` and made available in the Jetpack Admin Page as: |
| 21 | |
| 22 | ``` |
| 23 | window.Initial_State.WP_API_nonce; |
| 24 | ``` |
| 25 | |
| 26 | The root URL for the the API is found on the same page as: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | ``` |
| 29 | window.Initial_State.WP_API_root; |
| 30 | ``` |
| 31 | |
