Thermal API
Current API version: v1
Overview
Thermal is the WordPress plugin that gives you the access and control to your content from outside of the WordPress admin. Thermal supports client-based decisions that, when combined with a responsive design framework, allows for a truly responsive application leveraging a WordPress content source.
Versions
In order to support migration, the API plugin will support up to 2 versions of the API. Once a version is more than 1 cycle old, it will no longer respond at it's API root unless configured to do so.
API Root
The URL root of the API will be the version number of the API prefixed by your
WordPress site URL and the Voce\Thermal\API_ROOT
constant. By default this
is set to wp_api
but can be overridden by setting it in wp-config.php
.
The current API version is v1 so the default URL root is:
http://example.com/wp_api/v1/
Resource Types
