php-wordpressHow to use the WordPress REST API with PHP?
The WordPress REST API is a powerful tool for interacting with WordPress sites remotely. It can be used with PHP to create custom applications that interact with WordPress data.
To use the WordPress REST API with PHP, you need to make an HTTP request to the API endpoint. For example, to get a list of posts from a WordPress site, you can use the following code:
$response = wp_remote_get( 'https://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts' );
$posts = json_decode( wp_remote_retrieve_body( $response ) );
The code above will make an HTTP request to the wp-json/wp/v2/posts
endpoint and store the response in the $response
variable. The response is then decoded into a PHP array and stored in the $posts
variable.
