How to get site’s name from WP API

2 Views

I’m trying to get WordPress website title using javascript and WP API plugin

I didn’t find any example on how to get the site’s name but I found the variable name under the entities section in the developer guide

function _updateTitle(documentTitle) {
    document.querySelector('title').innerHTML = 
        documentTitle + ' | '+ $http.get('wp-json/name');
}

The output string of $http.get('wp-json/name') is [object Object]

Output

Does anyone know how to use fix this?

  1. You didn’t get enough context. What’s $http? What happens when you go to wp-json/name directly in your browser? Here’s what I see:

    [{
  "code":"json_no_route",
  "message":"No route was found matching the URL and request method"
}]

    Here’s a simple example to get you the title:

    var siteName;
$.getJSON( "/wp-json", function( data ) {
  siteName = data.name;
});

    response will not contain extra data like:

    authentication: []
    namespaces: ["oembed/1.0", "akismet/v1", "acf/v3", "wp/v2"]
    routes: {/: {namespace: "", methods: ["GET"],…},…}
    timezone_string: ""
    ...
    _links: {help: [{href: "http://v2.wp-api.org/"}]}
