How do I retrieve menu items from one level only?

1. Are you trying to display the posts from the top down a certain number of levels?

   If so, use wp_nav_menu. It has an argument “depth” built just for this and it works painelssly.

   wp_nav_menu(array('depth' => 2));

2. If you want to return an array of items (not output like wp_nav_menu), you can try this:

   $menu_name = 'your_menu_location';
   if ( ( $locations = get_nav_menu_locations() ) && isset( $locations[ $menu_name ] ) ) {
       $menu = wp_get_nav_menu_object( $locations[ $menu_name ] );
   
       $menu_items = wp_get_nav_menu_items($menu->term_id);
   
       foreach ( (array) $menu_items as $key => $menu_item ) {
           if ($menu_item->menu_item_parent != 0 ) continue;
           $title = $menu_item->title;
           $url = $menu_item->url;
   
           DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT HERE 
   
       }
   }   // endif has nav menu or not
