url: "https://mysite.com/wp-json/wp/v2/comments/11/?_fields=id,date,content"
}
) {
statusCode
contentType
headers
body
contentLengthHeader: header(name: "Content-Length")
cacheControlHeader: header(name: "Cache-Control")
}
}...producing:
{
"data": {
"_sendHTTPRequest": {
"statusCode": 200,
"contentType": "application\/json; charset=UTF-8",
"headers": {
"Access-Control-Allow-Headers": "Authorization, X-WP-Nonce, Content-Disposition, Content-MD5, Content-Type",

{
_sendJSONObjectItemHTTPRequest(

}
]
}
)
}...producing:
