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

The WP_REST_Posts_Controller class has the following in its get posts … Read more

Adding a custom endpoint is pretty straightforward. I also modified the url to look more like http://example.com/wp-json/namespace/v2/posts?filter[meta_value][month]=12&filter[meta_value][year]=2015 function wp_json_namespace_v2__init() { // create json-api endpoint add_action(‘rest_api_init’, function () { // http://example.com/wp-json/namespace/v2/posts?filter[meta_value][month]=12&filter[meta_value][year]=2015 register_rest_route(‘namespace/v2’, ‘/posts’, array ( ‘methods’ => ‘GET’, ‘callback’ => ‘wp_json_namespace_v2__posts’, ‘permission_callback’ => function (WP_REST_Request $request) { return true; } )); }); // handle the request … Read more
