Hi,

Is there an API to create custom post with relationship? I want to automatically create or update a custom post based on the data received from a rest api call or database query.

Thank you.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Yes - Toolset offers post relationship API. To connect the post, you can use the following post-relationshp API function: toolset_connect_posts
- https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/post-relationships-api/#toolset_connect_posts

To create/update post as well as post meta or taxonomy attached to post you can use native WordPress functions.

Hi,

Follow-up question:
"To create/update post as well as post meta or taxonomy attached to post you can use native WordPress functions."
I need to create/update a Toolset Custom Post from a JSON data. Can you give a guide/example on how to use Toolset Custom Fields when creating a WordPress standard post via API?

Thanks.

As shared before - Toolset integration with REST API is limited and offers the GET callback where custom fields are exposed to REST API callback response:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/toolset-integration-with-the-rest-api/

You will require to define the endpoint to register the update callback function for the user meth.
