Good video...i have a doubt..Will this methodof using username and password and getting data work only if user is admin?or any user can perform this?

[@BuntyWP]

May be I didn't understand your query. This will work for all users. And all other things will work based on user role. For example if user is subscriber, then they won't be able to run post create API

[@OptimusGrand]

@@BuntyWP will a subscriber user be able to get data using this?

[@BuntyWP]

@@OptimusGrand Yes.

[@premnathd]

How to use it in a code ?

[@BuntyWP]

We have to pass that in headers. See this example developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_remote_post/#comment-1097
