Custom Post Type API

import { Aside } from ‘@astrojs/starlight/components’;

The Loopress plugin registers read-only REST endpoints for any registered custom post type. This lets you query CPT content without building a custom endpoint or dealing with multiple requests for meta.

Requirements

The post type must be registered with WordPress (via a theme, plugin, or code snippet)
Administrator role (manage_options capability)

REST API

`GET /wp-json/lps/v1/cpt/{post_type}`

List all posts of a given post type. {post_type} must be a registered post type slug.

Example:

curl -H "X-WP-Nonce: <nonce>" \
  https://example.com/wp-json/lps/v1/cpt/product

Response:

[
  {
    "id": 42,
    "title": "My Product",
    "content": "Product description...",
    "status": "publish",
    "created_at": "2024-01-15 10:00:00",
    "updated_at": "2024-03-01 14:30:00",
    "meta": {
      "_price": ["29.99"],
      "_sku": ["PROD-001"]
    }
  }
]

`GET /wp-json/lps/v1/cpt/{post_type}/{id}`

Retrieve a single post by ID. Returns 404 if the post does not exist or belongs to a different post type.

Example:

curl -H "X-WP-Nonce: <nonce>" \
  https://example.com/wp-json/lps/v1/cpt/product/42

Error responses

Status	Cause
`400`	`{post_type}` is not a registered post type
`403`	Caller does not have `manage_options` capability
`404`	Post not found or wrong post type

Notes

Post meta is returned via get_post_meta(), all meta keys for the post are included
Posts with any status (publish, draft, private, etc.) are returned
This endpoint is read-only; creating or updating posts is not supported
