    Hi.

    Is there a way to retrieve the value of the rest_base from a specific post type so I can use in my endpoints?
    Something like this:

    $rest_base = get_rest_base('my_type');

wp_localize_script('my-script', 'foo',
     array('bar' => esc_url_raw(rest_url()).'/wp/v2/'.$rest_base)
);

    Best regards.

    We don’t have anything specific for that ourselves, but we also tend to not create such functions because logically it’d be part of WordPress Core.

    From my quick testing, you could use get_post_type_object() which fetches all the aspects of a given post type. It’ll return a WP_Post_Type object, at least with WP 4.6, and one of the properties will be rest_base.

    $my_type = get_post_type_object( 'my_type' );

wp_localize_script('my-script', 'foo',
     array('bar' => esc_url_raw(rest_url()).'/wp/v2/'.$my_type->rest_base)
);

    Got it.
    Didn’t know it was a core feature as it didn’t show up while digging into the reference.

    Thank you very much.
