[WP] Contact Form 7 through Wordpress REST API

This article is a good basis: https://css-tricks.com/headless-form-submission-with-the-wordpress-rest-api/

Warning

As of 5.8, CF7 introduced a hash-based id.

sources: https://contactform7.com/2023/08/06/contact-form-7-58/#hash-based-contact-form-identification

You'll have to use the post_id of a form as <FORM_ID> for the api endpoints: https://your-site.tld/wp-json/contact-form-7/v1/contact-forms/<FORM_ID>/feedback

This unhashed-id is found in the URL of the editing page of a form: <SITE_URL>/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wpcf7&post=<UNHASHED_FORM_ID>&action=edit

The rest of the article should work 🤘
