Chapter 3. Working with Taxonomies and Users with REST API

In the previous chapter, you learned how to work with posts and post metadata in WordPress using REST API. With the help of HTTP queries and requests, you can now easily get posts, edit as well as delete posts, and also alter or modify the post metadata as per our needs and requirements.

Such knowledge is enough if you wish to manage basic operations with posts using REST API. But for bigger and proper development, such as themes, plugins, or applications powered via REST API in WordPress, you need to dig deeper and learn more about other WordPress concepts and how to work with them using REST API.

In this chapter, we will continue on our journey and now turn toward taxonomies and users. You will learn how to manage and handle taxonomies and users in WordPress with the help of REST API.
