> Quickly request the current resource off the WordPress REST API via the WordPress admin bar.

---

Introduction
------------

[](#introduction)

This plugin adds a new node to the WordPress admin bar, *See in REST API*, that allows for requesting the current resource off the WordPress REST API. This works both in the WordPress admin and on the front end of your site.

Supported resources:

- posts (including attachments);
- terms;
- users (including your profile).

The plugin does **not** perform any checks around permissions. If a resource is not available or readable, you will find out after you clicked the link. 🙂

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

**Requirements:**

- PHP 7.2 or higher;
- WordPress 5.5 or higher.

Install with [Composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require humanmade/see-in-rest-api
```

This plugin follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).
