rest_api_init │ action-hook │ WP 4.4.0

Fires when preparing to serve a REST API request.

Endpoint objects should be created and register their hooks on this action rather than another action to ensure they're only loaded when needed.

Usage

add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'wp_kama_rest_api_init_action' );

/**
 * Function for `rest_api_init` action-hook.
 * 
 * @param WP_REST_Server $wp_rest_server Server object.
 *
 * @return void
 */
function wp_kama_rest_api_init_action( $wp_rest_server ){

	// action...
}
