Why do you have "show in REST API" turned off?Stender– Stender2022-05-25 08:25:51 +00:00Commented May 25, 2022 at 8:25

That's the setting for ACF. I used another plugin ( REST API Helper by JasmanXcrew ) to get the REST api working. I ended up creating my own REST Route in WordPress to solve this issue. Not sure why it only returns the keys though, it should return an object of values...user18872356– user188723562022-05-25 23:12:54 +00:00Commented May 25, 2022 at 23:12

By the way, I have also tried to use the default show in REST Api as well and it returns an array of keys.user18872356– user188723562022-05-25 23:23:19 +00:00Commented May 25, 2022 at 23:23

ACF doesn't respect the "Return Value" selection of the field in REST API responses by default, but if you add the acf_format=standard query param to your request it then respects the return value option.
/wp-json/wp/v2/post?acf_format=standard
https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/wp-rest-api-integration/#controlling-output-format
"Additionally, if you want to default the format to standard for all response data, you can enforce this by using the acf/settings/rest_api_format filter:"
add_filter( 'acf/settings/rest_api_format', function () {
return 'standard';
} );

Sooo you're telling me my life has been a lie? For years I've been leveraging custom endpoints to get around this..
