REST API

Hello, I’m sorry for the inconvenience. To update the Rank Math Title and Focus Keyword via the REST API, you can send a GET request to our REST API endpoint for a specific URL. You can use the getHead REST endpoint, followed by the URL of the webpage. Here is an example of how to create a request:

https://your-domain.com/wp-json/rankmath/v1/getHead?url=https://your-domain.com/hello-world

Replace your-domain.com with your website’s domain and https://your-domain.com/hello-world with your URL. The data will be returned in a JSON format that contains the head which includes the HTML tags added by Rank Math.

You can then use this data in your favorite front-end web app and still take advantage of Rank Math’s on-page optimization.

If you encounter any issues accessing the REST endpoint, you may need to whitelist the REST API endpoint in your firewall. If you’re using Wordfence or Cloudflare, you can follow our dedicated tutorials to whitelist Rank Math’s REST API endpoints.

For more details, you can refer to our guide on Headless CMS Support in Rank Math.

If you have any further questions or need assistance with this, please feel free to ask.

Hello,

You can use the following meta keys to add the metadata using the API:

rank_math_title
rank_math_description
rank_math_focus_keyword

Please make sure that the meta keys are registered inside the postmeta table.

You can learn how to register the meta key in this example here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/380513/add-post-meta-fields-when-creating-a-post-using-wordpress-rest-api

Hope that helps.

Thank you.

Hello,

We currently don’t have a Rest API to change the meta programmatically from your end, instead, you can make use of WordPress’s built-in functionality update_post_meta(). You can check more of that here: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/update_post_meta/

Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need my assistance with anything else.
