This plugin is a free plugin by [CalderaWP](https://CalderaWP.com). It is not an official add-on for SearchWP and is no way associated with SearchWP or the National Football League. - Requires WordPress REST API (WP-API) 2.0-beta9 or later or WordPress 4.4 or later. - Requires SearchWP Version 2.6 or later Technically will work without SearchWP, but queries will run through WP\_Query. ### Example Queries [](#example-queries) For a complete list of possible queries, see: - `wp-json/swp_api/search?s=jedi&engine=star-wars` - `wp-json/swp_api/search?&tax_query[field]=slug&tax_query[taxonomy]=categories&tax_query[terms]=1` - `wp-json/swp_api/search?meta_query[key]=jedi&meta_query[value]=luke&tax_query[compare]=IN` ### Other Post Types [](#other-post-types) - Added in version 1.2.0 By default query is against posts, to query against the post type "jedi" use: - - `wp-json/swp_api/search?s=rey&post_type=jedi` ### Multiple Meta Queries [](#multiple-meta-queries) Nested meta queries added in version 1.1.0 and allow for querying by multiple meta fields. Be sure to see the [relevant section of the WP\_Query docs](https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Custom_Field_Parameters) ##### Simple Nested Query [](#simple-nested-query) Use a `[]` to create a basic nested query. Default meta\_relation is AND. Default compare is IN. Example: Search where jedi field is "luke" and sith field is "vader". URL String: `/wp-json/swp_api/search?meta_query[key][]=jedi&meta_query[value][]=luke&meta_query[key][]=sith&meta_query[value][]=vader` Translates to: ``` 'meta_query' => array ( 'relation' => 'AND', array ( 'key' => 'jedi', 'value' => 'luke', 'compare' => 'IN', ), array ( 'key' => 'sith', 'value' => 'vader', 'compare' => 'IN', ), ) ``` ##### Relationships Between Query Parts [](#relationships-between-query-parts) Use variable `meta_relation` to change relationship been queries. Also, you can set compare, like with regular meta\_queries. Make sure your compare argument is in the right order. Example: Search where jedi field is "luke" or sith field is not "vader". URL String `wp-json/swp_api/search?meta_query[key][]=jedi&meta_query[value][]=luke&meta_query[compare][]=in&meta_query[key][]=sith&meta_query[value][]=vader&meta_query[compare][]=NOT%20IN&meta_relation=OR` Translates to: ``` 'meta_query' => array ( 'relation' => 'OR', array ( 'key' => 'jedi', 'value' => 'luke', 'compare' => 'IN', ), array ( 'key' => 'sith', 'value' => 'vader', 'compare' => 'NOT IN', ), ) ``` ##### Multiple Values In A Query Part [](#multiple-values-in-a-query-part) Put multiple fields into your query parts, by adding extra nesting levels in URL string. Order gets very tricky, numbers (remember to start at 0) help, as shown below. Example: Search where jedi field is "luke" or "obi-wan" and sith field is not "vader". URL STRING: `wp-json/swp_api/search?meta_query[key][]=jedi&meta_query[value][0][]=luke&meta_query[value][0][]=obi-wan&meta_query[compare][]=in&meta_query[key][]=sith&meta_query[value][]=vader&meta_query[compare][]=NOT%20IN&meta_relation=AND` ``` array ( 'relation' => 'AND', array ( 'key' => 'jedi', 'value' => array ('luke', 'obi-wan' ), 'compare' => 'IN', ), array ( 'key' => 'sith', 'value' => 'vader', 'compare' => 'NOT IN', ), ) ``` ### License & Copyright [](#license--copyright) - Copyright 2015 Josh Pollock for CalderaWP LLC. - Licensed under the terms of the [GNU General Public License version 2](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html) or later. - Please share with your neighbor. ### Health Score 31 — LowBetter than 66% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity14 Limited adoption so far Community9 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity67 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 94.3% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
