What are the concepts of the WordPress REST API?
Each of these concepts play a crucial role in understanding, using, and extending the WordPress REST API, and each is explored in greater depth within this handbook. In the context of the WordPress REST API a route is a URI which can be mapped to different HTTP methods.
How is the WP _ rest _ Request object generated?
A WP_REST_Request object is automatically generated when you make an HTTP request to a registered API route. The data specified in this object (derived from the route URI or the JSON payload sent as a part of the request) determines what response you will get back out of the API.
What does WP _ get _ post _ terms ( ) do?
(array| WP_Error) Array of WP_Term objects on success or empty array if no terms were found. WP_Error object if $taxonomy doesn’t exist. Introduced.
What’s the difference between get and get in WP-JSON?
The route wp-json/wp/v2/posts by contrast has a GET endpoint which returns a list of posts, but also a POST endpoint which accepts authenticated requests to create new posts. We will learn how to register our own routes and endpoints in the following sections.
Which is an example of an endpoint in WordPress?
The index provides information regarding what routes are available for that particular WordPress install, along with what HTTP methods are supported and what endpoints are registered. Endpoints are functions available through the API. This can be things like retrieving the API index, updating a post, or deleting a comment.
How to register your own REST API endpoints?
We will learn how to register our own routes and endpoints in the following sections. If you are using non-pretty permalinks, you should pass the REST API route as a query string parameter. The route http://oursite.com/wp-json/ in the example above would hence be http://oursite.com/?rest_route=/.
What are the namespaces for WordPress core endpoints?
The “core” endpoints use the wp/v2 namespace. Do not place anything into the wp namespace unless you are making endpoints with the intention of merging them into core. There are some key things to take notice of in the core endpoint namespace. The first part of the namespace is wp, which represents the vendor name; WordPress.
