Example output:

Installation / Use

1. Copy the acf-api-fields folder into your wp-content/plugins folder
2. Activate Advanced Custom Fields: API Fields plugin via the plugins admin page
3. Create a new field via ACF and select the API Relationship type
4. Enter in the endpoint to the remote API. Example http://example.com/wp-json/v2/wp/posts
5. Edit the object where you have included the field group. You'll see a standard Relationship field, however the data will be populated from the remote API.

The field type returns objects from get_field(). Example template file use:

<?php $remote_posts = get_field( 'remote_post_object' ); ?>
<?php if ( !empty( $remote_posts ) ): ?>

	<?php foreach ( $remote_posts as $remote_post ): ?>

		<h2><?php echo esc_html( $remote_post->get_title() ); ?></h2>
                <p><?php echo $remote_post->content->rendered; ?></p>

	<?php endforeach; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

The object which is returned from the API is similar to the object from the Example Client Library
