 * Hi!
 * I’m trying to post content to a custom pods post type with multiple fields.
    
   I’ve enabled write/read via rest api.. but I’m still unable to post via react
   app.
 * I have tried looking threw this thread: [https://github.com/pods-framework/pods-json-api/blob/master/authentication-filters.MD](https://github.com/pods-framework/pods-json-api/blob/master/authentication-filters.MD),
   but considering I’m pretty new at customizing wordpress files, I didn’t get where
   to go/edit in the file manager – the reason could also be an old thread(2015).
 * I’ve added a link to the page I’m working on via netlify. The form I’m trying
   to post to the REST API is /contact.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Frequest-failed-with-status-code-401%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi [@relouding](https://wordpress.org/support/users/relouding/)
 * You are referring to a deprecated plugin.
    Did you read the documentation? [https://docs.pods.io/advanced-topics/rest-api/](https://docs.pods.io/advanced-topics/rest-api/)
   For post types you do not require custom endpoints.
 * Cheers, Jory
