I'm trying to check by a post title if post exist or not. For some reason when i try something like:

http://domain.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[post-title]=table

I want if post with the name table exist, to get the post, if not, get an empty response. But for some reason when post with title not exist i get all posts back. How could get empty when no post exist and the post when it exist.

Unfortunately it is not possible, but you can use slug instead. Slug is editable part of the URL when writing a post and they can represent title of the page (or it can be changed into this). 

http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?slug=table
