How to get all images of a post in REST API WordPress?
When we add an image to the article body or as a featured image, it does not show up on WordPress REST API by default.
If we have a featured image, we get only the image ID as the default REST API response. If we need to expose all the images in a separate field we can easily do this by modifying the REST API response.
Get all the images of a post:
function add_post_images_rest_api($response, $post, $request) { if (isset($post)) { $args = array( 'post_parent' => $post->ID, 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'numberposts' => -1, // show all 'post_status' => 'any', 'post_mime_type' => 'image', 'orderby' => 'menu_order', 'order' => 'ASC' ); $images = get_posts($args); // get all the post images $response->data['postImages'] = $images; } return $response; } add_filter('rest_prepare_post', 'add_post_images_rest_api', 10, 3);
