How to GET only top level terms (without parent) #1735
Description
We are using WP-API v2 beta-5 and the following path: wp-json/wp/v2/terms/product_cat/ to get the woo commerce categories we have entered, and there are many. I have tried to use parent=0, but that does nothing. parent=xxx only seems to work for whole numbers. Is there another parameter or path to get just terms without a parent? Thanks.

According to the docs and the code
parent=0should work.Perhaps the
0 === $request['parent']check fails because it's not an int, so that would be a bug.Toddses commentedon Nov 16, 2015
There's a bug in the terms controller beta-5 which prevents you from making a request for only top-level terms (ie. terms with parent 0).
A fix landed in beta-6. So if you update, the
wp-json/wp/v2/terms/product_cat?parent=0endpoint should do the trick.equatorapps commentedon Nov 16, 2015
Thanks guys! I have updated to beta6, but my results are the same as before. parent=0 returns all terms. parent=234 returns only terms with that parent id.

This is the problem. It was introduced in #1604. We'll fix this in 2.0 Beta 6.1
