REST examples

Thanks for the reply.

I have tried using several examples, but didn’t get there yet. I noticed 1 incorrect thing, which (when fixed) resulted in getting a result on a default get request, when I used this code.

$request = new WP_REST_Request( 'GET', '/redirection/v1/redirect' );
$response = rest_do_request( $request );
echo '<pre>'; var_dump($response->get_data); echo '</pre>'; exit;

I then tried to add a paramater to try and understand the syntax/setup.

$request->set_param( 'status', 'enabled' );

But $response->get_data stays the same when I change enabled to disabled.

I think my parameter syntax might off on how to add parameters, but I can’t find any info that explains it to me.

Would appreciate some help if possible.

I tried adding the parameter like this:

$request = new WP_REST_Request( 'GET', '/redirection/v1/redirect' );
$request->set_param( 'status', 'disabled' );
$response = rest_do_request( $request );
$data = $response->get_data();

which I got from https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wp_rest_request/set_param/

I also tried $request->set_query_params( [ 'status', 'disabled' ] );

As I said I have seen/read the page you linked, but it seems I don’t quite get the needed/required syntax.

I tried adding them to the request URL directly but it gave no changes in the $data variable.

$request = new WP_REST_Request( 'GET', '/redirection/v1/redirect/?filterBy[status]=disabled' );
$request = new WP_REST_Request( 'GET', '/redirection/v1/redirect/?filter[status]=disabled' );
$request = new WP_REST_Request( 'GET', '/redirection/v1/redirect/?status=disabled' );

All 3 gave the error: rest_no_route.

I think it’s just the syntax I have wrong… If I can get past that…

In the last code block you see I tried several variations but they didn’t work.

As you can see I am approaching it differently than you probably would.
I’ve been tinkering with it for hours and I can’t get it right.

That’s why I was hoping you could provide an example with a simple query.

You say you never use rest_do_request. Can you maybe share an example you use ? I think it would help a lot…

Edit: I tried your suggestion, didn’t work.
