This is my first time working with REST, and I'm having difficulty getting posts by a meta key. I've added the meta keys I need using register_meta
, and running a request on /wp-json/wp/v2/products
, the output does contain my custom fields.
I know I can add ?slug={some slug}
, or ?id={some id}
to retrieve posts by those values, and that works fine in testing. But I can't figure out how to parse the custom fields because they're nested in the JSON data under a "meta" listing.
After Googling around for about an hour to no avail, I just started guessing at what I was supposed to do. I've tried a number of things like ?brand_name=test
, ?meta[brand_name]=test
, and ?[meta]brand_name=test
, but none of those seem to do anything.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious; I'd really appreciate some help. An example of my JSON data is below.
