How to use the WP REST API to give access

You can add Leaky Paywall user meta to the WP REST API user endpoint.  When enabled, this gives you access to the following data:

  • level_id
  • subscriber_id
  • price
  • plan
  • created
  • expires
  • has_access
  • payment_gateway
  • payment_status
