Description

EndPointy Menus adds custom REST API routes to expose your WordPress navigation menus as JSON.

Base namespace: endpointy-menus/v1

Endpoints:

  • GET /wp-json/endpointy-menus/v1/menus
    Returns all registered menus with locations and items.

  • GET /wp-json/endpointy-menus/v1/menus/<id>
    Returns a single menu and its items by menu ID.

  • GET /wp-json/endpointy-menus/v1/locations
    Returns all registered menu locations with assigned menus.

  • GET /wp-json/endpointy-menus/v1/locations/<location>
    Returns a menu assigned to a specific location (e.g., ‘primary’, ‘footer’).

Query Parameters:

  • nested=true – Returns menu items in a hierarchical tree structure with parent-child relationships.
    Example: /wp-json/endpointy-menus/v1/menus/2?nested=true

This is useful for headless WordPress setups or any external app that needs to read your menu structure.

Usage

Example requests:

Get all menus:
https://your-site.com/wp-json/endpointy-menus/v1/menus

Get single menu by ID:
https://your-site.com/wp-json/endpointy-menus/v1/menus/2

Get all menu locations:
