rest-api

https://api.wordpress.org is a custom PHP API and is not running WordPress. Thus, there’s no WP REST API that you could use for discovery. That URL has nothing to do with the REST API in core except for that redirect to the handbook. Unfortunately not all of the API endpoints are documented or either open sourced, … Read more

Sure they can! Actually the structure you used is assuming that url rewrites are on. Which may be or may be not. To assure the right endpoint, you must use get_rest_url function: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_rest_url/ So in your case, this would be: ‘get_rest_url’ => get_rest_url(null, ‘/block_help/v1/block_identi…’)

The route should not include the /wp-json part, and there should be no trailing slash (/) at the end: Wrong: /wp-json/wp/v2/pages/499/ Correct: /wp/v2/pages/499 So: $request = new WP_REST_Request( ‘GET’, ‘/wp/v2/pages/499’ );

I would use : if ( defined( ‘REST_REQUEST’ ) && REST_REQUEST ) {…} Source: https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/926#issuecomment-162920686 If you take a look to this source code on you will notice the constant is defined before processing anything, I would check for it instead of calling the mentioned function wp_is_json_request() Why? if headers were not set when you … Read more

Since your specific scenario is a remote application making a request to WordPress you’ll need to explore additional authentication methods available via plugins for the REST API. I won’t make any specific recommendations since I don’t know your use case in detail but I’m sure you will find one that works well.

Make custom API endpoint and move the logic from your PHP file into there instead For example, the code below will create an endpoint in /wp-json/my/v1/video/<id> add_action( ‘rest_api_init’, function() { register_rest_route( ‘my/v1’, ‘/video/(?P<id>\d+)’, [ ‘methods’ => ‘GET’, ‘callback’ => ‘get_video_data’, ‘permission_callback’ => ‘__return_true’, ] ); } ); function get_video_data( $params ) { $video_id = $params[‘id’]; … Read more

Here’s an untested suggestion for the REST API case: add_action( ‘rest_after_insert_comment’, ‘wp_new_comment_notify_moderator’ ); emulating the existing: add_action( ‘comment_post’, ‘wp_new_comment_notify_moderator’ ); Note the different callback inputs between actions and that we use that get_comment() should handle both comment ID or comment object as an input.
