## Description

**SEO Fields API Support** is a lightweight plugin that enhances the WordPress REST
API by making Yoast SEO fields – such as SEO titles and meta descriptions -available
for programmatic updates. This plugin is perfect for developers and site owners 
who need to automate or manage SEO metadata efficiently via the REST API.

### Key Features

 * **Yoast SEO Integration**: Exposes `_yoast_wpseo_title` and `_yoast_wpseo_metadesc`
   fields in the REST API.
 * **Wide Compatibility**: Supports all public post types, including posts, pages,
   and custom post types.
 * **Secure**: Includes authentication checks and data sanitization to ensure safe
   updates.
 * **Lightweight**: Only activates its features when Yoast SEO is installed, minimizing
   overhead.

### Compatibility

 * Requires WordPress 6.2 or higher.
 * Requires Yoast SEO to be installed and activated.

### Usage

After activation, you can update SEO fields using the WordPress REST API. Below 
is an example:

 * **Updating a Post**: Send a `PUT` request to `/wp/v2/posts/<post-id>` with this
   JSON body:
    `json { “meta”: { “_yoast_wpseo_title”: “Custom SEO Title”, “_yoast_wpseo_metadesc”:“
   Custom meta description for SEO.” } }

## Installation

 1. Upload the `seo-fields-api-support` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. No additional setup is required -the plugin automatically registers the Yoast SEO
    fields with the REST API.
