WordPress REST API

Recipes are a custom post type called wprm_recipe with regular taxonomies and custom fields associated with it. Because of that, they are accessible to the default WordPress endpoints for post types and taxonomies. You can learn more in the WordPress REST API Handbook.

Recipes in the REST API

Recipes are accessible through the WordPress REST API at the /wprm_recipe/ endpoint.

To read, send a GET request to the /wprm_recipe/<id> endpoint:
https://demo.wprecipemaker.com/wp-json/wp/v2/wprm_recipe/41

For creating a recipe, send a POST request to the /wprm_recipe/ endpoint and include that same kind of recipe array in the JSON body:

{
  "recipe": {
        "name": "My New REST API Recipe",
        "summary": "Delicious and not created in a traditional way."
  }
}

For updating you’d do the same, but send a PUT request to the correct /wprm_recipe/<id> endpoint.

Recipe Ratings in the REST API

Ratings are accessible through the WordPress REST API at the /wp-recipe-maker/v1/rating/ endpoint by any user with the moderate_comments capability.

To read a rating, send a GET request to the /rating/<id> endpoint:
https://bootstrapped.ventures/wp-json/wp-recipe-maker/v1/rating/123

For creating a rating, send a POST request to the /rating/ endpoint and include the rating array in the JSON body.

A user rating:

{
  "rating": {
    "recipe_id": "640",
    "user_id": "0",
    "ip": "123.321.123.321",
    "rating": "4"
  }
}

A comment rating:

{
  "rating": {
    "date": "2018-04-17 12:57:39",
    "comment_id": "22",
    "user_id": "0",
    "ip": "123.321.123.321",
    "rating": "3"
  }
}

The system will automatically update ratings if a particular IP/user/comment has already rated a particular recipe.

/rating/recipe/<id> and /rating/comment/<id> endpoints are available as well.
