Plugin Description
WordPress REST API endpoints are open and unsecured by default through which a hacker can access your site remotely. With our WordPress REST API Authentication plugin secure your WordPress APIs from unauthorized users.
Protect WP REST API endpoints from public access using API Key Authentication or JWT Authentication or Basic Authentication or OAuth 2.0 Authentication or third-party OAuth 2.0/OIDC/JWT/Firebase provider’s token authentication methods.
This plugin will make sure that only after the successful authentication, the user is allowed to access your site’s resources. REST API Authentication will make your WordPress endpoints secure from unauthorized access.
Along with the default and standard WordPress REST API endpoints, With WP REST API Authentication you can authenticate custom-developed REST endpoints and third-party plugin REST API endpoints like that of Woocommerce, Learndash, Buddypress, Gravity forms, CoCart etc.
