FAQ

Where can I find all the documentation?

You can find the complete documentation on GitHub.

Why make this plugin?

The core Rest API is full of information we don’t really need in our responses.
This was a solution to serve up exactly what we need for making beautiful sites
with great speeds.

Do I just turn this on and it works?

It’s worth noting that Better Rest Endpoints is for the more seasoned theme or app developer.
Just activating the plugin will do nothing – you need to build/adjust your theme or
apps endpoints to use Better Rest Endpoints.

Reviews

This is what I needed!

Works like charm! It gives me the possibility to limit the response to what I actually need, minimizing it’s footprint.
