Title: REST API Last modified: March 8, 2018 --- # REST API * Resolved [rowan84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rowan84/) * (@rowan84) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-33/) * Hey team, * Thanks so much for the great work that you do on the WP sermon manager plugin. It’s been working great for us. I want to try and automate sermon uploading based on mp3 uploads to Google Drive which syncs to a different server that we have. * I saw that the plugin now supports REST API. I assume that this is the standard WordPress REST API? Which I have no idea how to use at this point. Is there some documentation on how to create sermon entries using this plugin via the REST API that is supported? Would really appreciate being pointed in any direction:).

I get a blank draft sermon in the wp-admin section once I post that request. And if I retrieve it via REST all the fields I set is also blank. Status is also set to draft even though I sent status as publish * [Nikola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikolam/) * (@nikolam) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-33/#post-10052880) * Oops, I forgot to include the header. Just append `-H 'Content-Type: application/ json'` to the curl command. (or set the header some other way in your app) * Thread Starter [rowan84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rowan84/) * (@rowan84) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-33/#post-10053011) * Cool Thanks Nikola. That should have been obvious to me :). It works now, except for one thing i.e.the featured image. But now I think I know, this is set by the featured_media id. * Can you perhaps point me in the right direction on uploading featured media images? * From the plugin perspective is there any way you can take an external image url and make thumbnails etc etc. and upload as a featured image? * Thread Starter [rowan84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rowan84/) * (@rowan84) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-33/#post-10053069) * OK so uploading an image via this: [https:///wp-json/wp/v2/wpfc_sermon/](https:///wp-json/wp/v2/wpfc_sermon/) enpoint works, and then saving the id returned in the response. * I was hoping there would be a way to just provide a link to an external url on wordpress. * [Nikola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikolam/) * (@nikolam) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-33/#post-10053204) * Seems like that’s the only way to do it. * Reference: [https://stackoverflow.com/a/38469742](https://stackoverflow.com/a/38469742) * Thread Starter [rowan84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rowan84/) * (@rowan84) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-33/#post-10053244) * Ok, thanks again for all your help. * [Nikola](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikolam/) * (@nikolam) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-33/#post-10053331) * You are very welcome. 🙂 * Let us know if you have any other questions, or if you encounter any issues. * Sermon Manager’s REST API isn’t much used, as far as we could tell, so there could be a random issue. * Thread Starter [rowan84](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rowan84/) * (@rowan84) * [8 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rest-api-33/#post-10053335) * OK cool, I’ve been testing with Postman, and seemed to work fine so far.
