Simple WordPress plugin to provide a router-like interface with applications consuming the WordPress REST API.
Simply copy the project directory into wp-content/plugins and activate it via the plugins admin page, or drop wordpress-router-api.php into the wp-content/mu-plugins directory.
The plugin exposes a single route to the API at the following URL via a GET request:
http://MYWORDPRESSURL/wp-json/wp-router-api/v1/by/path
It accept a single paramater named path.
Pass the whole path of a post you'd like to retrieve:
http://MYWORDPRESSURL/wp-json/wp-router-api/v1/by/path?path=/path/to/post
The response will be a standard WordPress post object, with the following additional properties:
children: An array of the returned posts children (in case you're unaware, that includes attachments).fields: An array of custom fields associated with the post (any data stored as an array will be unserialized).
Tested with WordPress v4.9.8, PHP 7.1.6
In some situations your path string may need to be a UTF-8 encoded string such as the result of encodeURI in JS or urlencode in PHP.
