API Documentation

In version 4.1 of PressForward we introduced the inclusion of PressForward metadata on the WP REST API post endpoint. As we continue to develop the PressForward API we will update this documentation. Below is a list of all the information currently available on the Post endpoint for a post that was drafted through PressForward. Currently, only data about published posts is available.

If you are unfamiliar with the WP API or how to access it, be sure to view the documentation for the API.
