WPGet API PRO extends WPGet API for WordPress workflows that connect to external REST APIs. WPGet API sends data to APIs, retrieves data from unlimited third-party REST APIs without code, and displays responses with a shortcode or template tag. The core add-on is required for the PRO extension.

Connect events, changing values and requests

Actions can automate API activity when an action occurs on your website, linking a site event with an external service. Tokens let you retrieve dynamic data without code and send it to an API. The extension also includes dynamic variables, described as a PHP solution for retrieving changing values.

When a process needs multiple requests, chain API calls to link its steps. Caching API calls delivers a way to retain responses.

Configure connections and handle responses

WPGet API works with GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE methods, with query string, header and body parameters. Its authentication options include API keys, bearer tokens, basic authentication, username and password, and OAuth 2.0 authorization. WPGet API PRO includes Base64 encoded authentication and XML API support.

The extension can retrieve nested data from structured responses and format returned information as HTML. Display API data with a shortcode or template tag. Examples include charts, graphs, tables and weather forecasts.

Set up a workflow

Install WPGet API and the WPGet API PRO extension in WordPress. Configure the API connection, endpoint, authentication and request parameters. Add actions, tokens, dynamic variables, chained calls, caching or response formatting as needed, then display the returned data with a shortcode or template tag.

The wider WPGet API ecosystem includes integrations with WooCommerce, Contact Form 7, WPForms, Gravity Forms and wpDataTables. Separate extensions can import API data into WooCommerce products or custom posts; a separate OAuth 2.0 Authorization add-on handles authorization through that method. These are additional extensions, not functions of WPGet API PRO. Documentation includes a quick start guide, a step-by-step example, articles and FAQs.
