WordPress REST API Custom Endpoint with URL Parameter

Question

I am trying to create a custom endpoint for the WordPress REST API and pass parameters through the URL.

The endpoint currently is:

/wp-json/v1/products

First you need to pass in the namespace to register_rest_route

Like this

add_action( 'rest_api_init', function () {
    register_rest_route( 'namespace/v1', '/product/(?P\d+)', array(
        'methods' => 'GET',
        'callback' => 'my_awesome_func',
    ) );
} );

Your name space namespace/v1 and your route is /product/{id} like this /namespace/v1/product/81838240219

and now you can use the route inside your function like this

function my_awesome_func( $data ) {
    $product_ID = $data['id'];
}

If you need to add options for ex. /namespace/v1/product/81838240219?name=Rob

and use it inside the function like this

function my_awesome_func( $data ) {
    $product_ID = $data['id'];
    $name = $data->get_param( 'name' );
}

The process is very simple but requires you to read this documentation
