 Hi @neesu

 as you've discovered, permalinks need to be enabled for `/wp-json/` to be
 used, clients cannot simply assume that the rest api is available at
 `example.com/wp-json/`.

 For details of how clients should discover the URI to the rest api, see
 this handbook page:
 https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/discovery/

 I'm closing this as `invalid` as it's currently working as expected.
