Using the WordPress REST API

The WordPress REST API provides an interface for applications to interact with your WordPress site by sending and receiving data as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) objects. It is the foundation of the WordPress Block Editor.
However, it also provides a more predictable and structured way to interact with your site’s content than using admin-ajax. In this session, you will learn how to use the WP REST API in place of using admin-ajax, in order to interact with existing WordPress data.Presentation Slides »

i get error in site health page: The REST API is one way that WordPress and other applications communicate with the server. For example, the block editor screen relies on the REST API to display and save your posts and pages. The REST API did not process the context query parameter correctly. tried and not helped: 1. add to nginx config: location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args; } location ~ ^/wp-json/ { rewrite ^/wp-json/(.*?)$ /?rest_route=/$1 last; } 2. testing in browser with incognito mode. 3. testing in clean wordpress without activated plugins and with activated twentytwenty-one theme.

I got 404 when I accessed that URL (wp-json)

This is great and all, but I wish the rendered field stripped the HTML. Why would anyone consuming this data need things like class or data-*??? I don't see the point in returning all that.

Hello. The audio of this video contains way too much bass, it is not properly equalized for human speech. I tried watching it with a standard smart-tv and i had to stop it, because everything in the room was buzzing. If you open the audio waveform, it should be more than obvious.
