<p><a href="http://v2.wp-api.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">WP REST API</a> plugin provides the ability to interact with a WordPress installation through a REST API. When retrieving posts, a use case would be to filter them based on they publish date by before/after a certain date. In WordPress this can be achieved using the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Date_Parameters" rel="nofollow ugc">date_query</a> parameter. However, the parameter is not part of the whitelisted parameters of WP REST API. A workaround is to add it ourselves as discussed <a href="https://github.com/WP-API/WP-API/issues/389" rel="nofollow ugc">here</a>. This plugin adds the date_query param to the whitelist not modifying the theme of WordPress but by using a very small and simple plugin. This allows to change and upgrade themes freely and still keep the whitelisting of the parameter.</p>
<p>After installing WP REST API and this plugin, you should be able to run queries like the below,</p>
<pre><code>/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[date_query][after]=2016-02-26T12:38:36
/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?filter[date_query][before]=2016-02-27T14:28:15
</code></pre>
