Get user all meta data

    Hello, everyone.

    There is a way to get ALL user meta data? Even custom meta keys and values.

    I’m using this snippet:

    function playWithMeta($postray, $postdat, $context){
    $morestuff = get_post_meta($postdat[‘ID’]);
    //don’t do this, you will probably be duplicating a bunch of stuff
    return array_merge($postray, $morestuff);
    }
    add_filter( ‘json_prepare_post’, ‘playWithMeta’,12, 3 );

    But I think this is only por “/posts”. I’ll need the same but for users.

    Thanks in advance!

    Never mind… use this:

    add_filter( ‘json_prepare_user’, ‘add_user_metadata’, 10, 3 );

    function add_user_metadata( $user_fields, $user, $context ) {
    add_author_meta_field( $user_fields, ‘user_coins’ );
    return $user_fields;
    }

    function add_author_meta_field( &$user_fields, $field ) {
    if ( $meta = get_the_author_meta( $field, $user_fields[‘ID’] ) ) {
    $user_fields[ $field ] = $meta;
    }
    }

    and “add_author_meta_field” for every meta key you need.

    Hope that helps someone else!

    BTW… how can I make a POST request to a custom meta key?

    mydomain.com/wp-json/users/1?data[my_meta_key]=2500

    is not working… any hint for that?

    EDIT: I also try https://wp-api.org/#posts_create-meta-for-a-post without any luck. Is a lack of info in that with the endpoint

    Should be something like this: my-domain.com/wp-json/posts/1223/meta?data[my_meta_key]=2500

    of what???

    PS: Every other “native” meta key is working with POST request and I can edit it.

    If someone need it:

    user Basic Auth (or any other Auth), then:

    my-domain.com/wp-json/posts/IDofPost/meta/MetaID

    the use value pair to upload the value of it. Normally, having the ID of the Meta, you only need to pass: value=Example

    if you want to use full endpoint is:

    my-domain.com/wp-json/posts/IDofPost/meta/MetaID?data[value]=Example

    PS: Change IDofPost and MetaID for the values you need. Check your meta response to know which one you need to edit.
