Incase people have the same problem… I fixed the issue.

We needed to specify a new query object

$my_query = new WP_Query('showposts');

He’s my final AJAX loop

$my_query = new WP_Query('showposts');

 if ($my_query->have_posts()) :
    while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();
      if (get_custom('featured') == 'true'){
        $details[] = array
        (
         "details" => array
         (
          "image" => get_custom('featured_img'),
          "title" => get_the_title(),
          "link"  => get_permalink(),
          )
        );
      }
    endwhile;
  endif;

You have a lot to learn
