Wordpress REST API - send reset password link

Question

I want to create a request from my application. (iOS and Android - Coded with Xamarin). Explaination: The request should trigger the WordPress action=lostpassword. - The user receives an email to reset his password in browser. OR The user will be able to set a new password. WordPress send a link to email - where the user has to verify, that he changed the password. Is there any chance to do this with a request to the REST API. Maybe any similar ideas? I have already tried: Plugins where function was given in documentation but not worked for me Manualy called wp-login.php?action=lostpassword with body { "redirect_to": "", "user_login": "[email protected]", "wp-submit": "Neues+Passwort" } JavaScript questions and answers, JavaScript questions pdf, JavaScript question bank, JavaScript questions and answers pdf, mcq on JavaScript pdf, JavaScript questions and solutions, JavaScript mcq Test , Interview JavaScript questions, JavaScript Questions for Interview, JavaScript MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions)

Create your custom api URL https://yourdomain/api/forgot_password.php Parameter login:[email protected] Create folder api in root and create file forgot_password.php forgot_password.php <?php include '../wp-load.php'; $login = $_REQUEST['login']; if ( empty( $login ) ) { $json = array( 'code' => '0', 'msg' => 'Please enter login user detail' ); echo json_encode( $json ); exit; } $userdata = get_user_by( 'email', $login); if ( empty( $userdata ) ) { $userdata = get_user_by( 'login', $login ); } if ( empty( $userdata ) ) { $json = array( 'code' => '101', 'msg' => 'User not found' ); echo json_encode( $json ); exit; } $user = new WP_User( intval( $userdata->ID ) ); $reset_key = get_password_reset_key( $user ); $wc_emails = WC()->mailer()->get_emails(); $wc_emails['WC_Email_Customer_Reset_Password']->trigger( $user->user_login, $reset_key ); $json = array( 'code' => '200', 'msg' => 'Password reset link has been sent to your registered email' ); echo json_encode( $json ); exit; ?> login is parameter name keep in mind. its working 100% for me try it
