    I have created a Custom Post Type books-api which is fine, I have also added a custom field (meta box) to the post and this gets saved fine wp_postmeta table. My problem is when I call wp-json/wp/v2/books-api I don’t see my custom field entry in the data? I’ve added the add_filter( 'rest_query_vars', 'my_allow_meta_query' ) code but wondering if I am missing anything else?

    You’ll need to register the field on the response too. You can find some documentation on how to do so here: https://v2.wp-api.org/extending/modifying/

    Hey! Thanks for the response, I’m not totally sure how I use the code on the example page to hook this to my events custom post type. Basically I want to see event_url from postmeta but I’m not completely sure, I’m not overlay familiar with PHP more focused on the front end. Could you possibly point me in the right direction, I added the following code:

    add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'slug_register_event_url' );
    function slug_register_event_url() {
        register_rest_field( 'post',
            'event_url',
            array(
                'get_callback'    => 'slug_get_event_url',
                'schema'          => null
            )
        );
    }

    function slug_get_event_url( $object, $field_name, $request ) {
        return get_post_meta( $object[ 'id' ], $field_name );
    }

    Actually I see it when I call wp-json/wp/v2/posts but how would I go about seeing it when I go wp-json/wp/v2/events-api?
