Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

About this plugin
This plugin is no longer updated, but is open for adoption
7 the functionality provided by this plugin is now part of the Yoast SEO plugin itself. This plugin will no longer be updated, but is open for adoption. If you are interested in adopting this plugin, please contact the authors.
Are you using WordPress for a headless set-up, using the WP REST API? And would you like to use the Yoast SEO plugin just like you would for any other project? This plugin adds the meta tags generated by the Yoast SEO plugin to the WP REST API output, allowing your headless set-up to implement them.
Also when you are using Yoast SEO Premium you have the option to retrieve redirects throught the API: this plugin adds a custom endpoint ( /wp-rest-yoast-meta/v1/redirects ) to provide those redirects in a JSON format. org data is also supported and is now also available through the WP REST API when using this plugin.
