Comment:

 As @rmccue mentioned, the URL you're hitting is wrong. You're defining
 `apiURL` as already containing "wp/v2", yet you're trying to append it
 again in your script. Written as-is, the URL for the Ajax request will be
 something like `http://eample.com/wp/v2wp/v2/posts`. This is why you're
 getting the 404 error. The correct URL would be
 `http://example.com/wp/v2/posts`.
