Did you watch the video? There is no Custom API plugin. You create it yourself.

When i call a ACF field in this its show result as "url": null
$data[$i]['url'] = get_field( "url", $post->ID );

@banna360 Are you sure it should just be url? Check the API response. Maybe it's something like $data[$i]['acf_fields']['url'] or something like that. I think ACF would wrap it's fields inside another array. Not 100% sure, but you can test it out.

Hey I wanna thank you for this snippet. It really helped me man.
I would want to ask you if there is a way to have an offset or a pagination inside the rest-api ? I want to add another filter like "?page=1,2,3" etc
Thank you.

Hi,
I tried the way you coded the endpoint, but for some reason my endpoint is not working.
When I go to the endpoints I'm directed towards the homepage of the site.
Can you help? Thanks in advance

@Esiarp Maybe you need to change the permalinks in WP admin. To use something like /postname/ instead of /?p=123

@ivandoric That was exactly the issue! I changed it to "Day and name" and works perfectly. Thank you!

@ivandoric First of all thank you to share this content for us. But, I have some problems at this code. I don't know where can I find the endpoints for the wordpress article. For example I want to get post category but I don't know the endpoint for category like get_the_post_thumbnail_url. Please help us.
Thank you for code again
