WP-API get posts and order them by a descending order

Question

I am trying to grab posts and order them by date, in a descending order.

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?

Are you sure, it's not working? I've tried `http://demo.wp-api.org/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?order=asc` and `http://demo.wp-api.org/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?order=desc` - seems to be working fine. According to their docs, it should work: http://v2.wp-api.org/reference/posts/. — Gino Pane, Apr 12 '16 at 11:21

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
