WP REST API Sidebars

An extension for the WP REST API that exposes endpoints for sidebars and widgets.

note: this plugin is under heavy development and will receive frequent feature updates (including documentation) so stay tuned

Installation

Install directly from within wp-admin. Or get the files from either this repo or from the official WP REST API Sidebars plugin to the plugin directory and activate the plugin.

note: to enable you to use any version/branch of the WP REST API plugin during this rapid development phase there is currently no good way to check if it is active. Therefore make sure that it is before you activate this plugin.

Currently supported endpoints
