WordPress is one of the world’s most popular content management systems (CMSs), helping small and large businesses set up and create various forms of website content. But WordPress has evolved past just supporting traditional blog content — and that’s largely thanks to the WordPress REST API.
The WordPress REST API connects WordPress and other external web applications. It facilitates more accessible communication and helps you build immersive, engaging web experiences that integrate seamlessly with the CMS platform.
This API uses endpoints to retrieve and manipulate WordPress content as JSON objects. With these endpoints, you can create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) WordPress content remotely without logging into the WordPress Admin account, bringing flexibility and extending WordPress’s functionality beyond its core features.
