How This Works

    

      

        ✅ WordPress REST API
        
The property custom post type is automatically exposed at /wp-json/wp/v2/property — no plugin required. Adding show_in_rest: true to the CPT registration is all it takes.

      

      

        ✅ _embed parameter
        
Appending ?_embed inlines the featured image, author, and taxonomy data in a single request — eliminating the need for multiple API calls.

      

      

        ✅ Zero dependencies
        
This page uses the native fetch() API with async/await — no React, Vue, Axios, or jQuery. Just modern JavaScript and the browser's built-in capabilities.

      

      

        ✅ ACF + REST
        
Advanced Custom Fields data is available in the acf key of each response object when "Show in REST API" is enabled on each field group — price, beds, baths included.
