Challenge: Extend the REST API
Share this video with your friends
In this lesson, we will explore the WordPress API and documentation and pose a challenge to extend the API in some way with some suggestions.
Instructor: There are lots of great places to find documentation for WordPress. This is developer.WordPress.com, and in here we can see the reference. In my last video I used the get_comments() function. In the documentation, I can see it needs an array of arguments.
In which case, we sent the post_id. Then we've got a hive, we might construct it. Drilling down, we've got some user contributions, different examples, and different things you might want to do.
My challenge to you then is, can you use this documentation and maybe add the author details, or add some feature to your REST API that might be useful or fun?
