WPGet API PRO extends the core WPGet API extension for workflows that connect WordPress websites with external REST APIs. WPGet API can send and retrieve data from unlimited third-party REST APIs without code, then display responses with a shortcode or template tag. The core plugin is required to use the PRO extension.

Connect website events with changing values

Actions let you automate API activity when an action happens on your site, linking a site event to an external service. Tokens let you grab dynamic data without code and send it to an API. The extension also includes dynamic variables, described as a PHP solution for grabbing values that change.

Link requests and handle structured responses

Chain API calls to connect multiple steps in a process. Caching API calls delivers a way to retain responses. For more structured data, WPGet API PRO can retrieve nested information from API responses and format returned data as HTML for display. It also supports Base64 encoded authentication and XML format APIs.

Configure connections and display results

WPGet API supports 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. PRO workflows can combine these connection settings with dynamic values, chained requests, caching and formatted output.

Display returned data with a shortcode or template tag. Examples include charts, graphs, tables and weather forecasts. The wider WPGet API ecosystem also 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 plugin handles authorization through that method.

Set up the extension

Install WPGet API and the WPGet API PRO extension in WordPress. Configure the API connection, endpoint, authentication and request parameters, then add the actions, tokens, dynamic variables, chained calls, caching or response formatting your workflow needs. Display the returned data with a shortcode or template tag. Setup materials include a quick start guide, a step-by-step example, articles and frequently asked questions.
