You can view the full documentation and features [here](https://github.com/factor1/better-rest-endpoints). ## Installation 1. Activate the plugin 2. Use the better-rest-endpoint API endpoint to access your data ## FAQ Where can I find all the documentation? You can find the complete documentation on [GitHub](https://github.com/factor1/better-rest-endpoints). Why make this plugin? The core Rest API is full of information we don’t really need in our responses. This was a solution to serve up exactly what we need for making beautiful sites with great speeds. Do I just turn this on and it works? It’s worth noting that Better Rest Endpoints is for the more seasoned theme or app developer. Just activating the plugin will do nothing – you need to build/adjust your theme or apps endpoints to use Better Rest Endpoints. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/47e8af9e9b9cdef93ded51863b7c09bcb8c321f5849d52c154597efd9da5c4a8? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[This is what I needed!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-what-i-needed-7/)󠁿 [Tobi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tobias1976/) 24 Novambra 2018 Works like charm!
