This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are trying to use the WordPress REST API but encounter a message stating 'Your site doesn’t meet WPML’s minimum requirements'.
Solution:
First, please open the link as shown in your screenshot to check if you get a result. If it works, you can consider the message as a false positive. If the link does not work, it's possible that specific security settings or a security plugin might be restricting access to the REST API. We recommend checking your site's security configurations or reviewing any active security plugins that could affect the REST API. For more details on REST API dependencies with WPML, visit REST API dependencies documentation.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket for further assistance at WPML support forum.

Hi,

Please open the link as shown in your screenshot and check if you get a result.
If it works, you can ignore the message as a false positive.
If not, please check whether you have any specific security settings or a security plugin that might be restricting access to the REST API.
