This is because the rest API internally uses json_encode() to output the data. There are 2 ways that you can resolve this. 1. Prevent the API from sending the data This might be a bit odd and raise some issues, but you can set the header type and echo the content before returning the data: … Read more
Yes, pre_get_posts runs for REST API requests. Your issue is likely that your request is not properly authenticated, so $user_ID is not set. To allow the REST API to recognise the logged-in user you need to send the wp_rest nonce with the request. You can create this with wp_create_nonce( ‘wp_rest’ ) and send it with … Read more
function checkApiAuth( $result ){ $yourEncryptAPIKey = $_GET[‘request’]; if( yourDecryptFn( $yourEncryptAPIKey ) === $realKey ): $result = true; else: $result = false; endif; return $result; } add_filter(‘rest_authentication_errors’, ‘checkApiAuth’);
The collection params accessed via that filter appear to describe the available query params but are not actually used in the query. I think what you actually want is the rest_{$this->post_type}_query filter which allows you to modify the args before they are passed to WP_Query::query(). Also keep in mind that on the API request the … Read more

I think I know the fix. I noticed that the plus sign (+) in the url arguments was automatically being stripped and converted into a space. My arg values ‘august+september’ were becoming ‘august september’ after decoding. I found out that ‘%2B’ is the code equivalent of the + symbol. So, instead of using: /wp-json/wp/v2/events?filter[event_categories]=august+september Use: … Read more
Yes, from the link you posted there are examples for both sanitising and validating the parameters. Validating does a check which can fail and block the API call from running; sanitising just does some operations to clean or interpret the parameter and does not stop the API call from running. An example of validation, taken … Read more
I understand that having less data being downloaded improves the experience to the end user, but my question is related to the actual server performance, would the response be faster? Would adding _fields[]=id&_fields[]=title, etc… to the above url improve server performance? No it would not, and for several reasons. When you ask for a post … Read more
There is no such maxLength option in the WP REST API. You can pass a validate_callback though. Example: <?php add_action( ‘rest_api_init’, function () { register_rest_route( ‘myplugin/v1’, ‘/author/(?P<id>\d+)’, array( ‘methods’ => ‘GET’, ‘callback’ => ‘my_awesome_func’, ‘args’ => array( ‘id’ => array( ‘validate_callback’ => function($param, $request, $key) { return is_numeric( $param ); } ), ), ) ); … Read more
