Add Advanced Custom Fields Fields to the WP REST API

functions.php

function wp_api_encode_acf($data,$post,$context){
	$data['meta'] = array_merge($data['meta'],get_fields($post['ID']));
	return $data;
}

if( function_exists('get_fields') ){
	add_filter('json_prepare_post', 'wp_api_encode_acf', 10, 3);
}

@mehmoodak: Thank you :)

I am trying to send a post to my post type and it gives me an error, I am using custom field, help please, thank you

@albertoavv The REST route you are giving isn't correct. I didn't work with ACF REST API so please read their docs carefully. By the way I also thinks that in your path wp/wp5/wp-json should be changed to wp/wp-json

Thank you for your response, if what happens is that w5 is the name of the project or the root, but thanks for your response I will continue looking for a solution,

Regards

@mehmoodak thnx for your solution. Do you have any suggestion to specify only which ACF fields do you want to retrieve or not ?

great contribution @rileypaulsen! thanks. it works

Thanks @mehmoodak !

Thank you so much @mehmoodak !
