It is very useful when you need to create some filters into your app, with lists of all available terms. For example what can you get, using `wp-json/wp/v2/all-terms` request (where _categories_ and _tags_ – standart taxonomies, and _technologies_ – custom created taxonomy): ``` { categories: [ { term_id: 9, name: "Downloads", slug: "downloads", term_group: 0, term_taxonomy_id: 9, taxonomy: "category", description: "", parent: 0, count: 1, filter: "raw" }, term_id: 1, name: "Uncategorized", slug: "uncategorized", term_group: 0, term_taxonomy_id: 1, taxonomy: "category", description: "", parent: 0, count: 4, filter: "raw" }, { term_id: 3, name: "Wordpress", slug: "wordpress", term_group: 0, term_taxonomy_id: 3, taxonomy: "category", description: "", parent: 0, count: 2, filter: "raw" } ], tags: [ { term_id: 16, name: "First tag", slug: "first-tag", term_group: 0, term_taxonomy_id: 16, taxonomy: "post_tag", description: "", parent: 0, count: 1, filter: "raw" }, { term_id: 17, name: "Second tag", slug: "second-tag", term_group: 0, term_taxonomy_id: 17, taxonomy: "post_tag", description: "", parent: 0, count: 1, filter: "raw" } ], technologies: [ { term_id: 15, name: "jQuery", slug: "jquery", term_group: 0, term_taxonomy_id: 15, taxonomy: "technologies", description: "", parent: 0, count: 1, filter: "raw" }, { term_id: 14, name: "Wordpress", slug: "wordpress", term_group: 0, term_taxonomy_id: 14, taxonomy: "technologies", description: "", parent: 0, count: 1, filter: "raw" } ] } ``` Check my other useful rest-api plugins: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/andrew-magik-rest-api](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/andrew-magik-rest-api). ## Installation 1.
