GET form schema
JSON schema including rendered HTML + structured field list for client-side validation.
Feature
Headless / REST submissions
Render and submit forms from Astro, Next.js or any non-WordPress site. Site-wide API key + drop-in widget.
Part of Core Forms — every premium WordPress form feature in one plugin, one license, unlimited sites.
Expose any form via REST so an external site can render it and post submissions. The same validation, captcha, action-loop and payment-redirect machinery runs server-side in WordPress — your headless site just submits JSON.
Single API key per site (Settings → Headless), per-form opt-in toggle, and three integration modes: drop-in vanilla JS widget, native fetch, or cURL.
