Kindly help me , any information  regarding this will be great. Thankyou

It looks like you may be trying to use a Utilities object from some external library. Try btoa() instead

    1.  type: "basic"
    3.  status: 401
    4.  statusText: "Unauthorized"
    5.  ok: false
    6.  headers: Object
    7.  redirected: false"

 

async function createBlogPost(title, content, status) {
var wordpressUrl = "";
var wordpressUsername = "";
var wordpressPassword = "";

var authHeader = 'Basic ' + btoa(wordpressUsername + ':' + wordpressPassword);

// Create the blog post payload
var postPayload = {
title: title,
content: content,
status: status
};

// Convert the payload to JSON
var payloadJson = JSON.stringify(postPayload);

// Make an HTTP POST request to create the blog post
var url = wordpressUrl + "/wp/v2/posts";

var options = {
method: "post",
headers: {
'Authorization': authHeader,
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
},
body: payloadJson
};

await remoteFetchAsync(url, options)
.then(response => {
console.log(response)
if (response.ok) {
return response.json();
} else {
throw new Error("Error creating blog post. Status code: " + response.status);
}
})
.then(data => {
var postId = data.id;
console.log("Blog post created with ID: " + postId);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error(error.message);
});
}

// Example usage
var title = "New Blog Post";
var content = "This is the content of the blog post.";
var status = "publish";

await createBlogPost(title, content, status);

 

 

btoa() has some nuances that may be returning the wrong auth header. It accepts a “string” where each character represents an 8-bit byte – if you pass a string containing characters that can’t be represented in 8 bits, it will probably break
