If you’re using WordPress 4.6, you can use the REST API without the need for the plugin by simply using the following:
add_action('rest_api_init', function() {
$namespace="myapi";
register_rest_route($namespace, '/myroute', array(
'methods' => 'GET',
'callback' => 'handle_my_route'
), true);
function handle_my_route() {
return 'Hello World!';
}
}
Then, going to: yourwebsite/wp-json/myapi/myroute
would return the callback value, which in the case above is ‘Hello World’.
