RESTful JSON API provides simple JSON endpoints for WordPress content and user-facing app workflows. It is designed for mobile apps, external tools, and lightweight integrations that need predictable JSON responses from WordPress.

Built-in features include:

  • Core endpoints for pages, search, indexes, menus, and API metadata.
  • Posts controller endpoints for read-only post lists, single posts, CPT discovery, custom taxonomies, taxonomy terms/posts, media, attachments, comments, date archives, category archives, tag archives, and author archives.
  • Comment submission endpoints.
  • Widget/sidebar retrieval endpoints.
  • User signup, login, token validation, current-user profile, avatars, password reset requests, user meta, and authenticated comments.
  • Plugin-issued JWT bearer tokens for protected endpoints.
  • Optional shared API-key protection.
  • CORS allowed-origin settings.
  • HTTPS enforcement for password and bearer-token requests, enabled by default.

Full endpoint documentation with sample code is available in Settings > RESTful JSON API > Documentation. The same long-form documentation is also included in readme.md inside the plugin package.
