SEO Fields API Support is a lightweight plugin that enhances the WordPress REST API by making Yoast SEO fields – such as SEO titles and meta descriptions -available for programmatic updates. This plugin is perfect for developers and site owners who need to automate or manage SEO metadata efficiently via the REST API.

Key Features

  • Yoast SEO Integration: Exposes _yoast_wpseo_title and _yoast_wpseo_metadesc fields in the REST API.
  • Wide Compatibility: Supports all public post types, including posts, pages, and custom post types.
  • Secure: Includes authentication checks and data sanitization to ensure safe updates.
  • Lightweight: Only activates its features when Yoast SEO is installed, minimizing overhead.

Compatibility

  • Requires WordPress 6.2 or higher.
  • Requires Yoast SEO to be installed and activated.

Usage

After activation, you can update SEO fields using the WordPress REST API. Below is an example:

  • Updating a Post: Send a PUT request to /wp/v2/posts/<post-id> with this JSON body:
    `json
    {
    “meta”: {
    “_yoast_wpseo_title”: “Custom SEO Title”,
    “_yoast_wpseo_metadesc”: “Custom meta description for SEO.”
    }
    }
