# Jetpack HTTP API |
| 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/). |

|
| 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 |
|
| 32 |
