Rest Javascript Query Managed Metadata field

Question

I am query a list via rest results I retrieve fine in Office 365 (sharepoint 2013).

I have two fields of which one is a managed metadata fields. I am looping through the results retrieved but when how do I get the value for the managed metadata fields.

The "Private Question" fields is not a metadata field. The Status field is a managed metadata field which is causing an issue

The code below is the javascript looping through each item to find the value of "Status" which is showing null.

                results.forEach(function (result) {
                if (result.Status.Label === "66") {
                    // THIS KEEP RETURNING NOTHING
                }
                if (result.Private_x0020_Question == true) {
                    count++;
                }
            });

Here is the watch window from chrome as I loop through each item.

Here are the results executed as a rest query straight in the browser (so you can view in a more displayable format).

Need to know how to get the value of the Status field please.

The following example works for me:

function getListItems(webUrl,listName, success, failure) {
    var url = webUrl + "/_api/web/lists/GetByTitle('" + listName +  "')/items";
    $.ajax({
        url: url,
        method: "GET",
        headers: { "Accept": "application/json; odata=verbose" },
        success: function (data) {
            success(data.d.results);
        },
        error: function (data) {
            failure(data);
        }
    });
}


//Usage
getListItems(_spPageContextInfo.webAbsoluteUrl,'Documents',function(results){

    results.forEach(function (result) {

        if(result.Status && result.Status.Label === "5"){
             console.log(result.Status.Label); 
        }

     });

  },
  function(error){
    console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
  }
);

The Taxonomy namespace isn't currently supported by the REST api. However you can access it via CSOM/JSOM. An example can be found here: SharePoint 2013: Create and retrieve taxonomic metadata in apps for SharePoint.

You can also use a wrapper library called SPServices to get the Term for you.
