A WordPress plugin that exposes Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) data through dedicated endpoints in the WordPress REST API. It adds /wp-json/acf/v3 routes for posts, pages, users, taxonomies, comments, media, custom post types, and options pages, with read and edit permissions and developer filters.

Use cases

• expose acf custom fields in the wordpress rest api
• build a headless wordpress site with custom fields
• fetch acf fields for a post via json endpoint
• update acf field values through the rest api
• get acf options page values over rest
• use wordpress as a cms backend for a javascript frontend

When to choose

• you run a legacy WordPress site with ACF and need custom fields in REST responses
• you're building a headless WordPress frontend that reads ACF data
• you need per-field REST endpoints with customizable permissions via filters

When to avoid

• starting a new project - the plugin was closed on WordPress.org in January 2026 due to a security issue
• you use ACF 5.9+ which has native REST API field support built in
• you need actively maintained, security-audited software
