 * Hi good day,
 * I’m using a fork from [https://github.com/Achillefs/wp-json-api](https://github.com/Achillefs/wp-json-api)
   so that i can authenticate users from different domains when creating posts.
 * I was trying to create a post via the plugin and I have a weird issue:
 * Using a script in Python :
 *     ```
       import urllib2
       import json
       enter = urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost/public_html/website/website/?json=get_nonce&dev=1&controller=posts&method=create_post').read()
       enter_json = json.loads(enter)
       a = enter_json['nonce']
   
       u = urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost/public_html/website/website/?json=posts/create_post&dev=1&nonce='+a+'&categories=competitions&title=hello%20world&content=%3Cp%3Eyou%20suck%20this%20is%20competition%3C/p%3E&author=admin&user_password=123456&status=publish')
       u_json = json.loads(u.read())
   
       print u_json
       ```
   
 * The API works perfectly.
 * However ,when i perform the same logic in PHP:
 *     ```
       <?php 
   
       		function get_data($url)
       		{
       		  $ch = curl_init();
       		  $timeout = 5;
       		  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
       		  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
       		  curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
       		  $data = curl_exec($ch);
       		  curl_close($ch);
       		  echo "now in get_data";
       		  echo "<br>";
       		  echo $data;
       		  return $data;
       		}
   
       		$root_url = "http://localhost/public_html/website/website/";
       		$nonce_url = $root_url."?json=get_nonce&dev=1&controller=posts&method=create_post";
       		$json = get_data($nonce_url,0,null,null);
       		$json_data =  json_decode($json, TRUE);
       		//echo $json_data;
   
       		// check that user is logged into WP
       		$nonce = $json_data['nonce']; // need to have an exception handler in case this fails
   
       		echo $nonce;
   
       		//echo "this is the last part of the url i need \n";
       		//echo $end; //  this is what i need for the URL -> save into DB
       		echo '\n';
       		// than show message -> data is saved into SQL by building a POST using
       		// JSON API
       		$wp_json_api_call="?json=posts/create_post&dev=1&nonce=".$nonce;
       		$wp_json_api_call_tags="&tags=Photos for Competition";
       		$wp_json_api_call_title="&title= hahah";
       		//$wp_json_api_call_content="&content=<img src='".$fb_photo_picture."' />"; // the img src thing
       		$wp_json_api_call_content="&content=hahahahah contnet";
       		$wp_json_api_call_status="&status=publish";
       		$post_user_name = '&author=admin';
       		$post_user_password = '&user_password=123456';
       		$post_json_api = $root_url.$wp_json_api_call.$wp_json_api_call_tags.$wp_json_api_call_title.$wp_json_api_call_content.$wp_json_api_call_status.$post_user_name.$post_user_password;
       		echo $post_json_api;
   
       		$json_api_response = get_data($post_json_api);
       		//$json_api_response = file_get_contents($post_json_api);
   
       		echo "---------------- \n";
       		//echo $json_api_response;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * The JSON-API returns an error message : “You need to login with a user capable
   of creating posts.”
 * I was wondering if anyone have come across such errors ? Cos this is really weird?
 * How do i fix this ?
 * I want to create posts from different domains to a wordpress blog. And I hope
   to do it in PHP.
 * Thanks for your time. Thanks!
