How to user WP Rest Api with custom objects? | ww.wp.xz.cn

Hi,
is it possible, using the standard WordPress REST Api, to get all the objects created by the plugin installed on a WordPress 5.2.4 site?

I’m able to retrieve all the posts of the site, but I’d like to retrieve, in a similar way, the objects created by a third-party plugin.

Thank you very much

Ideally, the plugin should have registered the objects with “show_in_rest” set as true. You could probably alter this setting in the global arrays where object registrations are stored. Kind of a hacky approach. Probably more proper is to register a custom API route/endpoint that will handle API requests for those objects.

Ok, thank you.
I’ve created a custom module and I’ve added “custom endpoint” to the web rest api.
I’ve used these three links:
– https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/rest-api/extending-the-rest-api/adding-custom-endpoints/
– https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2twS9ArdCI

I’ve tried also to set the show_in_rest flag as suggested and it also works.
Thank you
