WPGet API PRO adds workflow options to WPGet API, which connects WordPress websites to external REST APIs without code. The core plugin sends data to APIs, retrieves responses from unlimited third-party REST APIs, and displays results with a shortcode or template tag. Use the PRO extension alongside WPGet API when a workflow needs website-triggered API activity, changing values, or linked requests.

Connect site events and changing values

Actions can automate API activity when an action occurs on your site, linking that event to 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 values that change.

Chain API calls to connect steps in a workflow that needs multiple requests. Caching API calls includes a way to retain responses instead of treating every request as a separate operation.

Configure requests and show responses

The core extension 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 adds 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.

When these workflows fit

Consider WPGet API PRO when a site needs to respond to WordPress actions, send changing values to an external service, or connect several API requests. Its nested data retrieval, HTML formatting, XML support, and Base64 encoded authentication also address specific response and connection needs.

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, while a separate OAuth 2.0 Authorization plugin handles authorization through that method. These are additional extensions, not WPGet API PRO capabilities.
