Now you have no need to make additional requests to get taxonomy info (term_id, name, slug, term_group, term_taxonomy_id, taxonomy, description, parent, count, filter) from their id that is available in the default json response.
Now all available taxonomy data is available in ‘pure_taxonomies’ field from your json response. It works for all custom added taxonomies, and for custom post types.
For example in ‘wp-json/wp/v2/posts’ you can find default fields ‘categories’, ‘tags’ and name of custom added taxonomies that contain only its id. With this plugin you can also find new ‘pure_taxonomies’ field that include all available ‘categories’, ‘tags’ and custom taxonomies data.
Before: 
 { 
 … 
 categories: [ 
 3 
 ], 
 tags: [ 
 2 
 ], 
 custom_taxonomy_name: [ 
 1 
 ] 
 … 
 }
After: 
 { 
 … 
 pure_taxonomies: { 
 categories: [ 
 { 
 term_id: 3, 
 name: “First category”, 
 slug: “first-category”, 
 term_group: 0, 
 term_taxonomy_id: 3, 
 taxonomy: “category”, 
 description: “”, 
 parent: 0, 
 count: 3, 
 filter: “raw”, 
 cat_ID: 3, 
 category_count: 3, 
 category_description: “”, 
 cat_name: “First category”, 
 category_nicename: “first-category”, 
 category_parent: 0 
 } 
 ], 
 tags: [ 
 { 
 term_id: 2, 
 name: “First tag”, 
 slug: “first-tag”, 
 term_group: 0, 
 term_taxonomy_id: 2, 
 taxonomy: “post_tag”, 
 description: “”, 
 parent: 0, 
 count: 2, 
 filter: “raw” 
 } 
 ], 
 custom_taxonomy_name: [ 
 { 
 term_id: 1, 
 name: “Custom Taxonomy Name”, 
 slug: “custom-taxonomy-name”, 
 term_group: 0, 
 term_taxonomy_id: 1, 
 taxonomy: “custom_taxonomy_name”, 
 description: “”, 
 parent: 0, 
 count: 1, 
 filter: “raw” 
 } 
 ] 
 }

WP REST API – Pure Taxonomies

Works Perfectly

Very useful to reduce number of requests



This plugin include all available taxonomy attributes into the WordPress REST API (v2) without additional API requests.

Pericor

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 Meta Support

This plugin was developed and used to generate pages with a review plugin configured programatically using the rest API per page and works as described.

Works as Described

Stores meta data (i.e plugin settings) from the meta field of a WP REST API posts or pages POST creation call in the created page or post meta data.
