Is it possible to set latitude and longitude from wordpress API rest ?

[charmosz]

I use integromat and wordpress rest api to create a post with custom fields (made with ACF). I would like to set latitude and longitude of this post directly through the API instead of doing it manually in wordpress after the creation. Is it possible ?
By the way thank you for this great plugin !

Dear @charmosz,

I don't know the limit of the Wordpress Rest API, but here is what you need:
The latitude/longitude are saved inside a unique metadata : _latlngmarker.
This metadata is a json array :

// latitude and longitude : string "12.34578"
// markerdata = 'default' or array 
//    $markerdata[0] : Image URL
//    $markerdata[1] : Image Width
//    $markerdata[2] : Image Height
// multiplemarkers = false (V2 will introduce multiplemarker)
// customtitle, customexcerpt: string
// customthumbnail: the media ID as a string.
$latlngmarker = json_encode(compact('latitude', 'longitude', 'markerdata', 'multiplemarkers', 'customtitle', 'customexcerpt', 'customthumbnail'), JSON_PRETTY_PRINT | JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE | JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES | JSON_HEX_APOS);

Here is what _latlngmarker look like in the database:
{"latitude":"43.97806","longitude":"0.39126","markerdata":["https://yoursite.url/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/cttm_markers-red.png",32,45],"multiplemarkers":false,"customtitle":"","customexcerpt":"","customthumbnail":"80"}

Then, I use those functions, the first is to set the marker data define above, the second adds a private taxonomy to the post, so the plugin can query it a lot faster than with a metadata query. This private taxonomy is mandatory for the query to work:

 // Update post meta 
 update_post_meta($post_id, '_latlngmarker', $latlngmarker);

// add terms in private taxonomy
 wp_set_post_terms($post_id, 'hasmarker', 'cttm-markers-tax', false);

I'm not sure if the REST API allows you to set private taxonomies, I never used it !

Wonderful !!! Thanks.

FYI, I didn't succeed in setting the taxonomy through the API. As a workaround I set default_term in the register_taxonomy function. So now every new custom post has this term by default.
register_taxonomy( 'cttm-markers-tax', $public_posttypes, array( 'label' => __('Travelers Map Markers'), 'public' => false, 'rewrite' => false, 'default_term' => 'hasmarker' ) );
