# Exposing Customizer objects in WordPress REST API

 * I’ve been building a javascript front-end, using wordpress as the CMS. The REST
   API is great for posts, pages, custom post types, etc, but I’m unable to figure
   out how to access the “Customizer” data.
 * For instance, the favicon, and a field I’ve added for “Site Logo” in the customizer,
   which I’d like to expose to the front-end via a /wp-json endpoint.
 * Does anyone know if this is possible?
 * Thanks

 * As you may know, theme specific customizer data is stored in the options table
   as a serialized array. The option key is “theme_mods_{$theme_name}”
 * The API provides access to only limited option values through the settings object.
   To get other option data, AFAIK you would need to create your own API route/endpoint
   to fetch customizer data.

 * [@bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/) I thought this might
   be the case. Thanks for confirming!
