Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about REST API - Head Tags

No, you can use it for any headless WordPress project. However, if you use Frontity, you can get all the data automatically with this Frontity package. On the other hand, if you are not using Frontity, you have to add the data manually as explained on the plugin's documentation.

You can find the head tags exposed in the WordPress REST API after making an API request. You can find a new field named head_tags which is an array of all the meta tags, just as they appear in the web page section. You can see more information at the plugin docs.

If you are not using this Frontity package (which will automatically add the head tags), you should fetch this data at /wp-json/wp/v2/types/post endpoint.

Yes, the plugin will automatically add the meta tags to the custom post types and custom taxonomies. You can check which entities show the new field on its docs.

Yes, it works with both Yoast SEO and All in One SEO plugins. We actually plan to make it compatible with most of the WordPress SEO plugins. If you test it with any other plugin, kindly let us know whether it works or not so we can update the list.
