The issue was because I wasn’t generating and sending a nonce value with the request. In order to generate a nonce value. Localize the value of a wp_create_nonce(‘wp_rest’) function call. wp_localize_script(‘application’, ‘api’, array( ‘root’ => esc_url_raw(rest_url()), ‘nonce’ => wp_create_nonce(‘wp_rest’) )); This will then be accessible to the window object of the browser which can be … Read more
It looks like you are trying to send a POST request to the /istermactive endpoint, is that correct? (I think you may want to remove the trailing slash from the endpoint?) I’m not really sure the wp-api client is the right tool for a standard ajax POST, you may want to use jQuery.ajax or use … Read more
Each of these have their own advantages and disadvantages. You might need to choose one over another, based on your needs. They are both well secured, otherwise they wouldn’t exist in the core.

The first parameter passed to register_meta() is always post for posts, Pages (post type of page) and custom post types. However, the REST API Handbook says that: Prior WordPress 4.9.8, meta fields set to show_in_rest using register_meta are registered for all objects of a given type. If one custom post type shows a meta field, … Read more
We could implement our own endpoint: https://example.tld/wpse/v1/frontpage Here’s a simple demo (PHP 5.4+): <?php /** * Plugin Name: WPSE – Static Frontpage Rest Endpoint */ namespace WPSE\RestAPI\Frontpage; \add_action( ‘rest_api_init’, function() { \register_rest_route( ‘wpse/v1’, ‘/frontpage/’, [ ‘methods’ => ‘GET’, ‘callback’ => __NAMESPACE__.’\rest_results’ ] ); } ); function rest_results( $request ) { // Get the ID of … Read more
It is not clear in the documentation, but you need to include the “_links” and “_embedded” as fields to be returned. In addition, I include the _embed parameter, as it does not require a value. As of WordPress 5.4, the resources to embed can be limited by passing a list of link relation names to … Read more
To me, the simplest solution would be creating additional field in JSON response and populating it with selected post meta: function create_api_posts_meta_field() { // “tribe_venue” is your post type name, // “protected-fields” is a name for new JSON field register_rest_field( ‘tribe_venue’, ‘protected-fields’, [ ‘get_callback’ => ‘get_post_meta_for_api’, ‘schema’ => null, ] ); } add_action( ‘rest_api_init’, ‘create_api_posts_meta_field’ … Read more
You could test if the request is coming in through the rest API before enabling the SHORTINIT Something like… if (strpos($_SERVER[ ‘REQUEST_URI’ ], ‘/wp-json/’) !== false) { define(‘SHORTINIT’, true); }
Does WP REST API have a built in route for calling menu? Nope, the menu route is not currently (4.9.7) built-in, but there’s a ticket for it in #40878. It’s not mentioned on this REST API roadmap though.
Since WordPress 4.7 the filter argument for any post endpoint was removed. But if you need them, add them via plugin. The WP API Repo have a plugin ‘Rest Filter’ for this job, small and short.
