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.
I ended up extending the API like suggested in the comments to my question, although I was hoping there was a default route that fetched all posts of all post types. Apparently, there isn’t.

Look into register_rest_field() to register meta with the rest api. add_action( ‘rest_api_init’, ‘adding_user_meta_rest’ ); function adding_user_meta_rest() { register_rest_field( ‘user’, ‘collapsed_widgets’, array( ‘get_callback’ => ‘user_meta_callback’, ‘update_callback’ => null, ‘schema’ => null, ) ); } And then put your get_user_meta bit in the callback. function user_meta_callback( $user, $field_name, $request) { return get_user_meta( $user[ ‘id’ ], $field_name, true … Read more
