Descripción

The easiest way to connect WordPress to external APIs.

WPGetAPI allows you to easily send data and get data from an unlimited number of 3rd party REST APIs. You can then format and display the returned data on your WordPress website using a shortcode or a template tag.

WPGetAPI supports virtually all authentication methods including OAuth 2.0 authorization, Bearer token, basic auth, API keys and username/password.

FAQ

Is WPGetAPI free?

Yes, WPGetAPI’s core features are and always will be free.

Paid extensions are available if you are looking to do more with your API.

Can I connect to any REST API?

Yes, most likely. WPGetAPI handles all major methods of authorization and authentication. It will depend on the type of authentication your API is using. Please click the link to view the types of authentication and authorization that are available.

Can I capture form data and send to my API?

Yes, with our PRO Plugin you can capture data from your forms and send this data to your API.

This is perfect for lead generation forms, contact forms or really any other type form that requires you to send form data to an API.

Can I use an XML based API?

Yes, we support XML with our PRO Plugin

How do I connect WordPress to an API?

By using this plugin of course! Check out the video at the top of this page or visit our Quick Start Guide to get started with connecting your WordPress website with an API.

How do I cache API calls?

We support caching with our PRO Plugin. It also recognises dynamic queries and will cache these individually.

A dynamic query might be something like these:

/customer-endpoint/customer?user_id=123
/customer-endpoint/customer?user_id=4567

The PRO plugin recognises that whilst they are the same endpoint, they are different queries that need to be cached separately.

Where can I find docs?

All of our documentation can be found here.

What can I do with the API data?

The API data can be output as a JSON string, stored in a PHP variable or automatically output as HTML (using PRO plugin extension). You can easily format the data into tables or charts plus many other possibilities.

Will you help me if I am having trouble?

Yes! Please contact us and we will get your API up and running.

Great plugin and the extensions are worth the cost. Support has helped me when needed. Thank you!

I have been doing the WordPress thing for almost a decade, submitted 100s of support tickets for 100's of plugins. The WordPress community, and the professional developers who build the plugins I use every day with clients are, with rare exception, ultra-professional, responsive, and most importantly passionate about their product. Brant and team at WPGETAPI raised the bar today when he updated the plugin based on a simple request/situation I was facing, resulting in an update pushed to the pro version. I ONLY use paid, professional plugins on my clients sites for many reasons. In my opinion, most paid plugins are priced very well. Some can be a little overpriced, and some, like WPGETAPI are underpriced. If you are pushing data to API's this plugin, particularly the PRO version is 100% essential, and you should buy it. Today.

Thanks Brant.All I Can Say I Wow. Support Is Simply Amazing, this guy takes support to another level and stands by his products and awesome products they are too. It has been too long since i worked with a Dev that was truly amazing as Brant is from WPGETAPI.In all seriousness, if you are reading this and you are looking for plugin to handle woo to external API, Import and OAuth 2.0please do not look any further as Brant's plugins and support is by far the best on the market.Thanks So much Brant,Honestly do not know what i would of done without your plugin and support.

Although the plugin was great in my opinion what was better was the help I was given in setting it up. The representative I emailed was extremely responsive and eager to help which meant a lot. I appreciate the WPGetAPI team & Brant specifically!

This is an excellent plugin that works like a charm. It saved me. I was up and running, calling external APIs and presenting data in a few hours only!!!. I have never experienced such a great support from a plugin developer too. These folks are the BEST.

decdesign 20 de agosto de 2022

The plugin works beautifully and response to my question from the plugin developer was really quick and courteous. Refreshing to encounter a plugin that works great and is well supported.
