Hello,

I have not found a way to get field values defined in option pages on version 5.11. Is it possible natively or requires custom coding?

Thanks!

Hello, that is for the ACF to REST plugin, not the build in REST API solution new in version 5.11.

Would love to know as well. Seems trivial and yet not addressed in any of the docs

Here’s what I did to get this working.

add_action("rest_api_init", function () {
  register_rest_route("options", "/all", [
    "methods" => "GET",
    "callback" => "acf_options_route",
  ]);
}
function acf_options_route() {
  return get_fields('options');
}

Now the custom endpoint {{site}}/wp-json/options/all will return all the site options.

@stefen Nice job.
Just note the missing ); at the end of the add_action() call.
And it is advised to generate endpoints with version number and vendor like
{{site}}/wp-json/wp/v1/myacf/options/all

Great! Thank you very much. Grabbed the code and adjusted to me need where i only want to query one option. In case someone needs it as well:

add_action("rest_api_init", function () {
  register_rest_route("options", "/clients", [
    "methods" => "GET",
    "callback" => "acf_options_route",
  ]);
});

function acf_options_route() {
  return get_field('lmdm_clients','option');
}

lmdm_clients is a repeater field in this case…
