Thank you! * Yes, it’s possible to redirect a REST API route, but it depends on how the redirection should be handled and the specific environment. Here are a few options: 1. **Server-side Redirect**: In server-side applications, you can configure the API endpoint to respond with a `3xx` status code (like `301` for permanent redirection or `302` for temporary redirection) along with a `Location` header pointing to the new URL. This will tell the client to make a request to the new route. Example in Express.js:javascript複製程式碼`app.get('/old-route', (req, res) => { res.redirect(301, '/new-route'); });` 2. **Client-side Handling**: If your API client can handle redirects, then you could include the redirect logic directly in the client. You could use a `3xx` status response and a `Location` header, or return a JSON response with information on where to go next. This approach might be useful if you’re working with single- page applications or have restrictions on direct redirects. 3. **Reverse Proxy**: If you’re using a reverse proxy like NGINX or a load balancer, you can configure it to redirect specific routes to new endpoints without modifying the application code. This is particularly useful if you want the redirection to happen transparently for clients. 4. **Middleware Redirects**: For frameworks that support middleware (e.g., Express, Django), you can set up middleware that checks the requested route and redirects to the appropriate endpoint before it reaches the main handler. * Plugin Author [John Godley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnny5/) * (@johnny5) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-redirection-work-with-n8n/#post-18117275) * That doesn’t seem relevant to WordPress or Redirection.
