Access via REST API

Hello @dusang

I have updated this code. Please, check it out.

Thanks!

Hi @dusang

Have you tried this?

add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'lmt_register_custom_api_field' );
function lmt_register_custom_api_field() {
    // Add the last modified author name to GET requests for individual posts
    register_rest_field(
        'post',
        'modified_by', // you can use anything here like modify_by
        array(
            'get_callback'    => 'lmt_cutomize_wp_rest_api_output',
        )
    );
}

function lmt_cutomize_wp_rest_api_output( $object, $field_name, $request ) {
	$modified_id = get_post_meta( $object['id'], '_edit_last', true );
	if( $modified_id ) {
                $last_user = get_userdata( $modified_id );
		
	        return $last_user->display_name;
	}
        return '';
}

Hi @dusang

WordPress REST API will return only “modified” and “modified_gmt” (both of them are dates) for posts.

As you told before, WordPress does not has any last modified author output in REST API. But this code snippet extends the REST API output as it adds the post last modified author name to the REST API output.

So, you can use that code to extend REST API output of WordPress then you can do anything like you want to query it in C#.

This feature is not added to the plugin yet. So, I give you that code to add it manually to your functions.php file.

For now this plugin just shows post modified author name to the frontend. In future release I may add this Rest Api feature to this plugin.

Thanks!

Hi @dusang

Ok fine. Can you add plugin to your website? If you can Install Code Snippets plugin and create a snippet with my code and activate it. And then check REST API output.

Thanks!

Ok. Please let me know if it doesn’t works.

Thanks!
