    Thank you! This plugin helped me to get all the Yoast meta data in JSON format, so I can use it in my website build with React in combination with Headless Wordpress.

  • Headless WordPress

    Must Have for applications using WordPress as headless CMS. Much better to make use of the existing Yoast SEO settings. Thanks for this plugin for making it available on the REST API.
