The REST API docs give endpoints and an explanation around how they work, but nowhere in the docs does it mention that you need to prepend your endpoints with /wp-json/.
For instance in the table on this page the endpoints are shown:
That list tells me I need to use www.domain.com/wp/v2/posts when in reality I need to use www.domain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts
I just faffed about for several hours wondering why the endpoint I was using direct from the endpoints index at www.domain.com/wp-json was giving me a 404, turns out I needed some esoteric, unexplained, internal knowledge about the API in order to perform a basic task.
Please make this much clearer in the docs - ideally by including it in any example endpoints you provide.
