REST API not returning back data to admin.

Dear @programmin,

Thank you for opening the thread!

The error you’re seeing ({“code”:”not_found_meta_box”,”message”:”Invalid MetaBox Name in Request.”}) is occurring because the MetaBox functionality has been deprecated in version 14.12 of WP Statistics.

Recommended Solution:

Use the new methods provided by WP Statistics to retrieve hits data:

// Using the Hits class directly
$hits = WP_STATISTICS\Hits::record();

If you need to maintain the same API endpoint structure, you can create a custom endpoint in your theme’s functions.php:

add_action('rest_api_init', function () {
     register_rest_route('wp-statistics/v2', '/metabox', array(
         'methods' => 'GET',
         'callback' => 'custom_metabox_callback',
         'permission_callback' => function () {
            return current_user_can('manage_options');
         }
     ));
 });

 function custom_metabox_callback($request) {
     $name = $request->get_param('name');
     if ($name === 'hits') {
         $hits = WP_STATISTICS\Hits::record();
         return rest_ensure_response($hits);
     }
     return new WP_REST_Response(array('code' => 'not_found_meta_box', 'message' => 'Invalid MetaBox Name in Request.'), 400);
   }

Let us know if you need any further assistance!
