Wp has nothing to do with this... It's not meant to provide APIs.
Angular fe - yeah, sure. But using cms to publish api is neither good for the api [too much overhead, bugs in wp, etc], nor will you learn wp [there is no CONTENT in APIs]
I say go w/ angular and raw [lwx]ampp stack if you must use php -
What exactly do you need the api to do? If it's just something simple, you can look into firebase perhaps. It's a bit tough to give a concrete answer without knowing why you want to use wp as a backend.
Going with angular is completely fine in my mind though. -
@ganjaman hahahahaha I should show my teacher this after I passed ;) Edit: We actually had the chance to also use the Drupal rest api instead of wordpress as backend, but nobody used it I think. God...

Wow thats shitty. If i were you, id write pure php code in the wordpress index page and use that as a rest api.

Do you think this is a stupid tech stack to create a sleep tracking app? Angular as the frontend and Wordpress rest api as backend. I need to use these for a college project...
