WP REST API — User Meta

Description

Now you have no need to make additional requests to get author info (name, display_name, first_name, last_name, user_email, user_registered date) from their id that is available in the default json response.

Now all these author data is available in ‘author_meta’ field from your json response.

For example in ‘wp-json/wp/v2/posts’ you can find default fields ‘author’ that contains only its id. With this plugin you can also find new ‘author_meta’ field that include details about author.

Before:
{

author: 1

}

After:
{

author_meta: {
ID:»1″,
display_name:»admin»,
user_nicename:»admin»,
first_name:»»,
last_name:»»,
user_email:»demo@mail.com»,
user_registered:»2016-03-01 21:25:23″
}

}
