Why Choose SEO Fields API Support?

Managing SEO data manually can be time-consuming, especially for large sites or automated workflows. Our plugin solves this by exposing Yoast SEO’s key fields—_yoast_wpseo_title and _yoast_wpseo_metadesc—to the WordPress REST API. Here’s what makes it stand out:

  • Effortless Automation: Update SEO titles and meta descriptions programmatically, perfect for integrating with tools like n8n, Zapier, or custom scripts.
  • Universal Compatibility: Works with all public post types, including posts, pages, and custom post types, ensuring flexibility for any WordPress site.
  • Secure and Reliable: Built with authentication checks and data sanitization to keep your site safe, only allowing authorized users to make changes.
  • Lightweight Design: Activates only when Yoast SEO is installed, keeping your site fast and efficient.
  • Multilingual Support: Fully compatible with multilingual setups using plugins like WPML or Polylang, so your SEO data stays consistent across languages.

Who Is This Plugin For?

  • Developers: Streamline your workflows by integrating SEO updates into your APIs or automation pipelines.
  • Site Owners: Save time by automating SEO metadata updates for bulk content or dynamic pages.
  • SEO Professionals: Maintain precise control over Yoast SEO fields without manual edits, ensuring consistency across your site.

How It Works

Once activated, SEO Fields API Support instantly makes Yoast SEO fields available through the WordPress REST API—no complex setup required. Here’s how to get started:

  1. Install the Plugin:
    • Download SEO Fields API Support from or upload it manually to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
    • Activate it via the WordPress admin panel.
  2. Ensure Yoast SEO Is Active:
    • The plugin requires Yoast SEO to function, as it builds on Yoast’s metadata fields.
  3. Update SEO Fields via API:
    • Use the WordPress REST API to modify SEO data. For example:
      • For a Post: Send a PUT request to https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/<post-id> with:
        { "meta": { "_yoast_wpseo_title": "Optimized SEO Title", "_yoast_wpseo_metadesc": "Engaging meta description for better rankings." } }
      • For a Page: Use https://yoursite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/<page-id> with the same structure.
    • Authenticate your requests using a method like JWT, Application Passwords, or a nonce, ensuring only authorized users can make changes.

Real-World Use Cases

  • Dynamic Content: Sync SEO metadata with external data sources, like product feeds or CRM systems.
