Get most recent post using WP-API JS

Question

I'd like to be able to return the most recent Wordpress post from my blog using the WP-API (Version 2).

I can't work out what to put after:

/wp-json/wp/v2/

Any help is much appreciated. - Thanks.

Answer 1

Try this - /wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[posts_per_page]=1

Answer 2

According to the docs you specify the number of records to return in one request with the parameter per_page so /wp/v2/posts?per_page=1 will return only the first post.
