This solution works with get_items() in /lib/endpoints/class-wp-rest-posts-controller.php of the v2 WP Rest API. First, you’ll want to construct the GET arguments like you would for a new WP_Query(). The easiest way to do this is with http_build_query(). $args = array ( ‘filter’ => array ( ‘meta_query’ => array ( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, array ( ‘key’ … Read more
The WP Rest API sends the total count(found_posts) property from WP_Query. in a header called X-WP-Total. FOR POSTS: you can make a call to posts endpoint of the REST API http://demo.wp-api.org/wp-json/wp/v2/posts The value for posts count is returned in the header as X-WP-Total. Below is a sample response from the hosted demo Access-Control-Allow-Headers:Authorization, Content-Type Access-Control-Expose-Headers:X-WP-Total, … Read more

At its current state, it is a badly engineered feature that do not have any real advantage for a competent developer. The basic idea, as it stands at the time this answer is written, is to expose WordPress core functionality as JSON REST API. This will enable decoupling of the WordPress “business” logic from the … Read more
You can write your own REST handler for custom queries if you want. In your case, the query can done by doing so: // Register a REST route add_action( ‘rest_api_init’, function () { //Path to meta query route register_rest_route( ‘tchernitchenko/v2’, ‘/my_meta_query/’, array( ‘methods’ => ‘GET’, ‘callback’ => ‘custom_meta_query’ ) ); }); // Do the actual … Read more
Multiple categories can be separated by comma like below http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?categories=20,30 hope this helps
Ah I just had this problem myself! And while _embed is great, in my experience it is very slow, and the point of JSON is to be fast 😀 I have the following code in a plugin (used for adding custom post types), but I imagine you could put it in your theme’s function.php file. … Read more
I think the best option is an endpoint. You get all the data as a simple string, so you can decide how it will be parsed, and you don’t have to worry about collisions with other rewrite rules. One thing I learned about endpoints: keep the main work as abstract as possible, fix the glitches … Read more
I have gone through the source, and from what I can see, there aren’t any hooks/filters to tap into changing permissions. My understanding is that this was an intentional design decision. While the REST API was built to be extensible, it is not recommended to modify core endpoints in the way you are asking. There … Read more
You should put the named parameters of the route regex into an optional capturing group: register_rest_route( ‘api’, ‘/animals(?:/(?P<id>\d+))?’, [ ‘methods’ => WP_REST_Server::READABLE, ‘callback’ => ‘get_animals’, ‘args’ => [ ‘id’ ], ] ); The second parameter is simply a regex, thus you can use normal regex logic to make it more complex
