Using the Wordpress JSON API to get custom field (image)

Question

I'm trying to dynamically load images from a certain post type. I've used the Advanced Custom Fields plugin to attach an image field to my post. I'm currently using this code:

$.getJSON('/?json=get_recent_posts&post_type=slides-verhuur&custom_fields=image', {}, function(data){
    console.log(data);
});

However when I run the code, the result JSON I get contains a "custom field" attribute, which have an "image" attribute, but this only contains the value of "80", which is the ID of the image. Is there a way to get the image url instead?

You need to set Return Value as "Image URL" instead of "Image ID" Under Custom Fields group a image field as per image shown below.

hi, this stills return the photo ID even though it is set to Image URL. I am guessing because of the theme or some custom functions ACF fails to get the URL and returns ID

Running into the same issue, even tried re-adding the images but didn't work out.

Have you manually added the custom field to the JSON? If so what code did you use?

Guys, any idea how to fix it?

Here's a helpful post from developers of the ACF plugin: support.advancedcustomfields.com/forums/topic/… Basically just adding ?acf_format=standard to your request URL returns the image URL.

$post_response->data['CFS'] = CFS()->get(false, $page->ID, array('format' => 'api'));

use 'api' instead of 'raw'
