Hi, Thanks for contacting Toolset support forums.

How are you planning to get REST API support for WP, using a plugin or doing it manually?

Cheers!

Hi Ahmed.

Thank you for your reply.

We are using the wp-api plugin. hidden link

We have successfully been able to authenticate oauth and enabled the custom post to be accessible by the rest, and can go a GET on them without a problem, However the custom fields associated with the CPT are not accessible through the API.

The standard wordpress posts work fine. everything about the API works fine except for the above.

Unfortunately, such a feature isn't a part of our plugin but after taking a look on REST API v2 plugin I found that you can modify the response and add any additional data that you may need.

WP-types stores the the values as postmeta, so you should add the the wpcf- prefix when you query for it. You can read more about querying postmeta in rest API here: hidden link

Also, if you need help with the custom coding, you may contact one of our certified partners, and they'll be more than happy to help you. https://toolset.com/consultant/

I hope that answers you question.

Cheers!

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to be able to use REST but will use an alternate solution.
