Overview
The REST API was a great additional to WordPress that made it easy to grab data through the default routes. The biggest issue with these default routes is it will either grab too much data or too little data and it didn’t make it easy to only grab the data you need. This plugin makes it possible to create custom routes where you can set to pull only the data you need/want. Even better you won’t even have to touch a line of code to make it work, everything will be configurable within the WordPress dashboard.
