Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Code and core Headless Fast API – Standalone, cacheable REST endpoints that skip the core load cycle

No. The built-in REST API is untouched and keeps working. This plugin adds its own endpoints under /code-and-core-headless-fast-api/v1/.

Individual items use the same field names and structure (title.rendered, content.rendered, featured_media, _links, …), plus acf and yoast_head_json when those integrations are on. Lists are wrapped in an object with count, total, total_pages and data, instead of a bare array with X-WP-Total headers. Content is returned as stored, with paragraphs added. Shortcodes and blocks are not run through the_content filters, because the theme and most plugins have not loaded yet. Render dynamic blocks on your front end, or use the core REST API for the few requests that need them.

Yes. Turn on the ACF integration under Integrations. Fields, repeaters, groups, flexible content, images and options pages are supported, and relationship fields can be expanded with resolve rules.

Yes. With the Yoast integration on, items include yoast_head and yoast_head_json, built from Yoast's indexable data.

Yes. On the Schema screen, open the Custom Fields tab and add the meta key, its type (string, integer, boolean or JSON) and whether it holds a single value.

If disk caching is on, responses are kept for up to an hour. Save the settings with Clear Cache on Save turned on to clear the cache at once. Also check any CDN or proxy cache in front of the site. I get a 404 for a post type or taxonomy. Make sure it is public and turned on under Entities, then save. The endpoint name is the post type or taxonomy name with an s added (for example product becomes products). Categories, tags, pages and media use categories, tags, pages and media. The API returns my theme's HTML 404 page. Check that permalinks are not set to "Plain", and that the URL contains /code-and-core-headless-fast-api/v1/.

No. Requests reach the API through WordPress's normal permalink handling on every server.

Fast Mode cannot be turned on, and the plugin tells you so. The API keeps working and returns identical responses; it is answered on plugins_loaded instead, which is slower on sites with many plugins.

Data that plugins save to the database is included. Output that plugins add at runtime through filters is not, because those plugins do not load on API requests in Fast Mode. If you need that output, leave Fast Mode off.

Yes. Use Download Backup under Advanced on the first site, then Restore on the second.
