Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to add data to Toolset CPTS by using rEST API similar to this approach that uses ACF: hidden link

So I would need to know how to get the keys for toolset fields and update the Toolset custom fields and create the listing just like the youtube video

Is there any documentation that you are following? This one that uses ACF hidden link

Is there a similar example that we can see? hidden link

What is the link to your site? Under Development

Thank you very much.

Hi Charlie,

Thank you for getting in touch.

I would recommend having a look at the link below for our documentation on how to expose our Types Fields to the REST API.

https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/toolset-integration-with-the-rest-api/

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Thank you,
But this still does not answer my question regarding the key, by using API what field is the "ley" for Toolset fields that I can use to map the data and save it?

As you can see in YT video provided (23:59 and 24:27), it is very easy to get this from ACF, so how would it work for Toolset since when creating Custom fields I can only see the "Field name" and "Field slug"?

Thank you very much.
