Options to get my custom post type metadata via the WordPress API

You should use register_meta to add the meta field to the rest controller. Here the example from the link to expose the field my_meta of the custom post type my_article:

register_meta('post', 'my_meta', [
  'object_subtype' => 'my_article',
  'show_in_rest' => true
]);
