 * Hey!
 * Can I use the WP REST API to query custom post types created with this plugin?
   I’m thinking about to write a mobile app, where I want to display and interact
   with custom post types and other fields by Advanced Custom Fields plugin too.
 * My client has an existing website, and I don’t want to write cpt’s and taxonomies
   by hand 🙂

 * Hey [@dlevai94](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlevai94/)
 * I know for sure we have support for the `show_in_rest` and `rest_base` arguments
   for both post types and taxonomies, but don’t yet have support for the `rest_controller_class`
   parameter. Hopefully that’s enough to get you going on your needs.
 * Open issue for that last part: [https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui/issues/639](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui/issues/639)
