Quotes on Design fetches Quotes using the WP-API
May 13, 2015Quotes on Design is a page that serves quotes about design, curated by Chris Coyier. They just rebuilt it using the WP-API to fetch posts from WordPress.
Up to this point, Quotes on Design (QoD) used a bit of custom code to query the WordPress database and serve up quotes. This was used for the site itself, and for its API to allow use on external sites. With the excitement surrounding the upcoming WordPress JSON REST API, we thought it would be fun to rebuild the site to use the WP API instead of our own custom code.
It’s nice to see more and more real world examples using the WP-API popping up lately. In this post on CSS-Tricks, Andy Adams details exactly how they built it which makes it a perfect tutorial if you want to get familiar with the WP-API.
