Using Rest API with other large sites

  • Hi, I have a classifieds ads website. 2 of my customers through affiliates networks wants to know where my API is so they can connect to it and transfer their ads to my website. The first one is a very well known vacations rentals, the other one a used car dealer. This is new to me but is certainly the future way of making business as bulk transferring via .sql or .csv files is time consuming and prompt to errors, and manually almost impossible. I have the categories to do so. What do I need to make it happen?
    (I am going to transfer all my data to a new WP platform, as my old platform (osclass) doesn’t have the API capability, or very expensive to create and it wont be universal).
    I’ve learned what an API is, but as I’m not a developer, I need plugins to help me set the API to receive and retract data (when obsolete, the car is sold for example) from what could be very different APIs from those guys.
    Is it why you created your “Rest Routes – Custom Endpoints for WP REST API” plugin?
    Thank you

    Hello @phil2019,

    Thanks for the interest in using our product.

    Unfortunately, the current version of the plugin works only for displaying stuff (GET verb). So, you won’t be able to expose a route for letting people insert data on your site. Good news is that we are working in a much more robust PRO product which will extend the existing one and will provide much more features, including what you need.

    We’ve created this list so you can add yourself to the waiting list for the Pro version: https://forms.gle/YGGrkm6MUdQbsmNu8
