<p>Since wordpress version 4.9.? wordpress includes the functionality provided by this plugin in the core of wordpress.</p>
<p>Checkout https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/global-parameters/#_fields for functionality included in the wordpress core,<br />
they made it even better by filtering the amount of data pulled from the database.</p>
<p>This plugin will no longer be maintained since it has been superseded by the core functionality.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/" rel="ugc">wp-rest-api-v2</a> returns a lot of properties.<br />
It could be very useful (or mobile-data-friendly) to only return the properties needed by the application.</p>
<p>If you only want titles and links of some articles it doesn’t make sense to return the content or the excerpt.</p>
<p>This isn’t limited to posts, it also works on custom posttypes, categories, pages, terms, taxonomies and comments.</p>
<p>Instead of returning:</p>
<pre><code>{
  "id": 2138,
  "date": "2015-10-25T15:31:03",
  "guid": {
    "rendered": "http://worldofict.nl/?p=2138"
  },
  "modified": "2015-10-25T15:31:03",
  "modified_gmt": "2015-10-25T14:31:03",
  "slug": "rechtenvrije-fotos",
  "type": "post",
  "link": "http://worldofict.nl/tip/2138-rechtenvrije-fotos/",
  "title": {
    "rendered": "Rechtenvrije foto’s"
  },
  "content": {
    "rendered": ".. A lot of content .. "
  },
  "excerpt": {
    "rendered": " .. A lot of content ..."
  },
  "author": 2,
  "featured_image": 2139,
  "comment_status": "open",
  "ping_status": "open",
  "sticky": false,
  "format": "standard",
  //.. even more tags ....
}
</code></pre>
<p>It can return (with <code>fields=id,title.rendered,link</code> as GET parameter)</p>
<pre><code>{
  "id": 2138,
  "link": "http://worldofict.nl/tip/2138-rechtenvrije-fotos/",
  "title": {
    "rendered": "Rechtenvrije foto’s"
  }
}
</code></pre>
<h4>Notes</h4>
<ol>
<li>If you specify fields so it wouldn’t return data the default response is send back to the client.</li>
