Possible to get a small subset of values in JSON?

  • I’m using the JSON plugin to pull down a stream of information to populate a custom dashboard (tiles). The plugin works TOO WELL, and its giving me a LOT of information. Is it possible to specify only certain information? (in my case, I’d need the post TITLE, AUTHOR.USERNAME, FEATURED_IMAGE.GUID, and LINK to the full article)

    Kudos for the nice plugin btw!

  • Hello slegg!

    You could use WP REST API Filter Fields plugin to do that and use it like “&fields=ID,title,author,bla bla” at the end of the endpoint to only get those values.

    I dont know if its my version of WordPress, the plugin, or a combination of both, but the fields filter isn’t working (it does change the JSON that’s returned) but is still giving too many fields in the returned data…

    WordPress 4.3
    WP REST API: 1.2.3
