Divi 5 Block Rendering in WP Admin – et_builder_render_blocks Not Available #745

@sitehttps

Description

@sitehttps

Our goal is to render Divi 5 layouts, pages, and posts as full frontend HTML in the WordPress admin—matching exactly what Divi 5 outputs on public pages.
We were previously using the PHP function et_builder_render_blocks() to achieve this, as documented in early Divi 5 betas and developer discussions.
However, as of the latest Divi 5 release, this function appears to be:
Not defined or available in admin context (even on a clean, brand new Divi 5 site),
Potentially renamed, refactored, or moved to a different namespace or builder context.
Could you please clarify:
Is there a new, recommended PHP function or API for rendering Divi 5 block layouts/pages in admin?
Is et_builder_render_blocks() still valid, or has it been replaced or restricted to frontend/builder-only usage?
Is there any supported workaround or alternate method to render Divi 5 block content in admin until the formal API is complete?
Do you provide a REST endpoint or JS API for block rendering, or should we fallback to iframe-based previews?
This functionality is critical for third-party admin tools and integration workflows. Any roadmap or suggestions for Divi 5 backend rendering would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you
