Hello,
Thank you for reaching out with your question about adding custom focus keywords to articles sent through the WordPress REST API. To add custom focus keywords to each article using the WordPress REST API, you can utilize Rank Math’s automation feature to set focus keywords based on specific criteria.
One way to achieve this is by using custom code snippets in your theme’s functions.php file or rank-math.php file. You can create a function that updates the focus keyword based on your custom criteria and then hook this function to the init action.
Here is an example of how you can automatically update the focus keyword with custom keywords for each article:
/**
* Function to automatically update the focus keyword with custom keywords
*/
function update_focus_keywords_custom() {
// Replace this with your custom logic to fetch custom keywords for each article
$custom_keywords = 'your_custom_keywords_here';
// Update the focus keyword with the custom keywords
update_post_meta(get_the_ID(), 'rank_math_focus_keyword', $custom_keywords);
}
add_action('init', 'update_focus_keywords_custom');
By implementing a similar custom function tailored to your specific requirements, you can automate the insertion of custom focus keywords for each article sent through the WordPress REST API.
If you need further assistance or have more questions, feel free to provide additional details or reply to this ticket. Our support team is here to help you.
Looking forward to assisting you further!

Hello,
Here are the meta keys to add the metadata using the API:

Hello, I am not familiar with PHP coding and this page you provided have too much code and there is no clear mention which function to use?
can you please help me or provide me the exact code to add these meta keys to use along with wordpress REST API
Please help
is anyone here to help? can you provide me clear guide how to add these meta keys?
Hello,
Custom coding is outside the scope of our support so if you want to do this programmatically and don’t have the required knowledge in terms of PHP coding you would need to hire someone to perform this for you.
We already shared the metadata that is used by our plugin and how to register that. Beyond that, custom code to extend functionalities like this is not possible at the moment.
Thank you.
