We'll create fresh WordPress site with WP REST API – User Meta installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
Now you have no need to make additional requests to get author info (name, display_name, first_name, last_name, user_email, user_registered date) from their id that is available in the default json response.
Now all these author data is available in ‘author_meta’ field from your json response.
For example in ‘wp-json/wp/v2/posts’ you can find default fields ‘author’ that contains only its id. With this plugin you can also find new ‘author_meta’ field that include details about author.
Before:
{
…
author: 1
…
}
After:
{
…
author_meta: {
ID:”1″,
display_name:”admin”,
user_email:”[email protected]”,
user_nicename:”admin”,
user_registered:”2016-03-01 21:25:23″
}
…
}
