What is API taxonomy?
A taxonomy is a way of grouping things together. In the PubCrawl example, we have two different taxonomies: Category and Crawl. The Category example is fairly self-explanatory, but Crawl allows us to create different pub crawls – or in the future, allow users to create their own.
How many API types are there?
APIs are broadly accepted and used in web applications. There are four principal types of API commonly used in web-based applications: public, partner, private and composite.
How do you classify APIs?
Depending on the data transfer formats used in request-response messaging, web APIs are classified as SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol), RPC (Remote Procedure Call), and REST (Representational State Transfer). These are the different protocols through which exchange of information takes place over web.
How are taxonomies handled in the REST API?
Types associated with the taxonomy. REST base route for the taxonomy. The visibility settings for the taxonomy. Query this endpoint to retrieve a specific taxonomy record. Scope under which the request is made; determines fields present in response. Limit results to taxonomies associated with a specific post type.
How to add REST API support for custom content types?
If you need to add REST API support for a custom post type or custom taxonomy you do not control, for example a theme or plugin you are using, you can use the register_post_type_args filter hook that exists since WordPress version 4.6.0. For custom taxnomies it is almost the same.
How do you get taxonomy information from WordPress?
Getting Posts by Taxonomy So far, we’ve worked with the taxonomy endpoints. The WordPress REST API, only shows you information about the taxonomy and its terms, not the posts in the terms when working with those endpoints. Post information is retrieved via the post endpoints, which we can use to get posts with a specific taxonomy term.
