WordPress REST API how to post

How to use WordPress REST API to post article? I can edit post using the following PHP code, i'm using the Basic Authentication. 

require( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );

$headers = array (
    'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode( 'username' . ':' . 'password' ),
);

// Edit post
$url = rest_url( 'wp/v2/posts/1' );

$data = array(
    'title' => 'Test API Edit' 
);

$response = wp_remote_post( $url, array (
    'method'  => 'POST',
    'headers' => $headers,
    'body'    =>  $data
) );

print_r($response);

But I can not post new article

<?php

require( dirname(__FILE__) . '/wp-load.php' );

$headers = array (
    'Authorization' => 'Basic ' . base64_encode( 'username' . ':' . 'password' ),
);

// post new article

$url = rest_url( 'wp/v2/create_post/' );

$data = array(
    'title' => 'Post from API',
    'content' => 'test contents'

);

$response = wp_remote_post( $url, array (
    'method'  => 'POST',
    'headers' => $headers,
    'body'    =>  $data
) );

print_r($response);

The return is always No route was found matching the URL and request method

Any suggestions?

It looks like you are using the wrong endpoint for POSTing to the REST API. As mentioned here the endpoint for creating new posts is:

/wp/v2/posts

Hope this solves your problem!
