API Troubleshooting

Use this checklist when API requests fail.

Quick Checklist

1. Confirm global API access is enabled: enable_api_access.
2. Confirm model-level API switch is enabled (example: enable_api_post, enable_api_website).
3. Confirm endpoint-level switch is enabled (example: wncms_api_post_index).
4. Verify api_token exists and belongs to an active user.
5. Verify request method and endpoint path are correct.
6. Check payload field names and data types.
