Overview
The WooCommerce REST API lets you read and manage data on any WordPress site running WooCommerce — including products, orders, customers, and coupons. It uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and returns JSON, making it easy to work with from any language. You authenticate with consumer key and consumer secret credentials generated in your WooCommerce settings.
Beginner Tip
Generate your API credentials from WooCommerce Settings Advanced REST API in your WordPress dashboard. Use HTTPS for all requests, since HTTP connections will be rejected by default.
