Summary

In this chapter, you covered a lot vis-à-vis REST API in WordPress. You have learnt how to issue GET and POST requests via HTTP to WordPress sites. Plus, you also learnt how to work with posts and post meta fields and metadata.

You also got an overview of the remote management abilities of REST API by learning how to copy posts from one site to another or how to create new or edit existing posts.

In the next chapter, we will go a step ahead and start with taxonomies and users. We know that taxonomies and users are important entities in WordPress and we will be using REST API to manage and work with both of these in the next chapter.
