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. Since Yoast 11.0 JSON LD Schema.org data is also supported and is now also available through the WP REST API when using this plugin.
