Using REST API

Using the WordPress REST-API you can create a plugin to provide entirely new admin experiences for WordPress, build a brand new interactive front-end experience, or bring your WordPress content into completely separate applications.

Before you start using REST API, familiarize yourself with the key technical concepts behind how the REST API functions. Also refer to the Glossary handbook page.

Learn more about how to interact with API resources and query for specific data in the Using the REST API section. Also, refer to the Endpoint Reference handbook page to know all the default endpoints provided by WordPress.
