Thermal API
, (*1)
Current API version: v1, (*2)
Overview
Thermal is the WordPress plugin that gives you the access and control to your content
from outside of the WordPress admin. Thermal supports client-based decisions that,
when combined with a responsive design framework, allows for a truly responsive
application leveraging a WordPress content source., (*3)
Versions
In order to support migration, the API plugin will support up to 2 versions of the API. Once a
version is more than 1 cycle old, it will no longer respond at it's API root unless configured
to do so., (*4)
API Root
The URL root of the API will be the version number of the API prefixed by your
WordPress site URL and the Voce\Thermal\API_ROOT
constant. By default this
is set to wp_api
but can be overridden by setting it in wp-config.php
., (*5)
The current API version is v1 so the default URL root is:, (*6)
http://example.com/wp_api/v1/
Resource Types
The following resources are available, (*7)
Posts
A post represents a single item of content., (*8)

Examples:
- 'm=2012' Only posts from 2012 will be returned; Equivalent to 'year=2012'
- 'm=201206' Only posts from June 2012 will be returned; Equivalent to 'year=2012&monthnum=6'
- 'm=20120609' Only posts from June 9th, 2012 will be returned; Equivalent to 'year=2012&monthnum=6&day=9'
