About WordPress

WordPress 5.6+ supports Application Passwords for REST clients. Iru calls https://YOUR_HOST/wp-json/... with HTTP Basic (username + application password). HTTPS is required - Application Passwords are rejected over plain HTTP.

​
How it works

Authorization: Basic base64(username:application_password)
DetailValue
CategoryCMS
AuthenticationBasic (Application Password)
Self-hosted 5.6+ or WordPress.com Personal+ (Free tier does not expose Application Passwords per product limits). Official references: Application Passwords, REST API.

​
Prerequisites

  • Administrator (or role that may issue Application Passwords).
  • /wp-json reachable and not blocked by security plugins.
