Automatically stores the meta data from the <code>meta</code> field of a wordpress REST API posts (<a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/posts/#create-a-post" rel="nofollow ugc">/wp-json/wp/v2/posts</a>) or pages (<a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/pages/#create-a-page" rel="nofollow ugc">/wp-json/wp/v2/pages</a>) POST in the meta data associated with the created page or post using <a href="https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/update_post_meta/" rel="nofollow ugc">update_post_meta</a>. The key / value information sent in the REST POST ‘meta’ object field is stored as both ‘key’ and ‘_key’ to support different plugin formats. 
For example, if trying to set the YOAST SEO Plugin values dynamically when creating a page from the REST API, you would simply add the fields to the meta field of the REST POST data when you POST the endpoint, and the plugin values will be added to the page:
<pre><code>{
...
 'meta': {
 'yoast_wpseo_title': "Title set from REST call"
 'yoast_wpseo_metadesc': "Meta description set from REST call"
 }
...
}
</code></pre>
Use this plugin when dynamically creating pages with the WordPress REST API to support modifying plugin settings for pages/posts created using the REST API!

REST API Log

Exactly what I needed

its trash.
whilst i do like the idea of the plugin, this tool is simply not working properly. guess it's abandoned. 
there is a filter build in to filter for the request type, but it does not work (simply doesn't filter at all). and there is an option, to purge logs, that are older than x days, but this doesn't work ether. and deleting the logs takes ages, you might want to do that in the db directly. so handle with care, as it will bloat the db and it'll be hard to find the data, you might be looking for..

don't!!1!

This is great tool to log REST API calls. Period.

1 star? 5 stars!
