Allows multiple groups of posts with different filters to be obtained from the WP-API in a single request
, (*1)
A WP-API extension that allows multiple groups of posts with different filters to be obtained in a single request., (*2)
I've been experimenting with WordPress as an API-first CMS, as explained in this article. With WP-API maturing into a very stable product and moving to the WordPress core in the near future, it seemed logical to use it rather than creating a custom solution., (*3)
However, an API-first approach means that every bit of information from the back-end will have to come through the API, which in some cases might mean sending multiple requests to the API to render a single page. To reduce the overhead caused by multiple HTTP requests, this plugin allows you to receive completely separate sets of data from the API in a single request., (*4)
Currently, the grouping only works with filters and it's available on two endpoints:, (*5)
Each group is defined in the URL with a label and a set of filters in this format: label:filter[filter_type]=value. The response is a JSON object with one node per group, named after the label., (*6)
/postgroups?foo:filter[author]=fooguy&foo:filter[s]=foo&bar:filter[tag]=bar&bar:filter[posts_per_page]=1, (*7)
would return:, (*8)
{
"foo": [
{
// Foo post 1
},
{
// Foo post 2
},
{
// Foo post 3
}
],
"bar": [
{
// Bar post 1
}
]
}
Download the plugin, place inside wp-plugins/ and activate., (*9)
