# [Plugin: JSON API] Querying on multi-site instance

 * How can I get the JSON API to work across a multisite instance?
 * I can only get results when I query with a specific post name, like:
    ?json=1&
   p=314
 * URLs that use the API methods, like this: /api/get_post/?id=314
    return this:{“
   status”:”error”,”error”:”Not found.”}
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks,
    DouG

 * I recently needed a solution for this. Here is my fix.
 * I added the following lines just below the included files of json-api.php
 *     ```
       if( isset($_GET['siteid']) ) {
       	global $site_id;
       	$site_id = $_GET['site_id'];
       	switch_to_blog($site_id);
       }
       ```
   
 * You would just include the site id in your query string like so
    [http://example.com/api/?siteid=3&id=43&post_type=attachment](http://example.com/api/?siteid=3&id=43&post_type=attachment)
 * This was using wordpress 3.2.1
 * I don’t think the global $site_id declaration was 100% necessary but shouldn’t
   hurt.
