BlogReader App Tutorial Question

How can one pull blog post by categories using JSON instead of get_recent_posts. I tried get_recent_categories up to no avail. I am also using WordPress and theJSON API Plugin. Hope to hear from you soon. thanks

Take a look at the documentation for the JSON API and you will notice that there are two methods related to categories:

  • get_category_posts: Returns an array of posts/pages in a specific category.
  • get_category_index: Returns an array of active categories.
