How Do I Create an Endpoint in WooCommerce?

An endpoint is a URL that is used to access specific WooCommerce data. Endpoints are located at: yoursite.com/wc-api/{endpoint}. You can create endpoints for various data types including products, orders, customers, etc. To create an endpoint, you first need to decide which data type you want to access.

For example, let’s say you want to create an endpoint for products. The first step is to create a file called products.php in the /wc-api/ directory. In this file, you will need to add the following code:

<?php
/**
 * Plugin Name: WooCommerce Product Endpoint
 * Plugin URI: https://example.com
 * Description: This plugin creates an endpoint for products in WooCommerce
 * Version: 1.0
 * Author: John Doe
 * Author URI: https://example.com
 * License: GPL2
 */
 
function my_custom_endpoint() {add_rewrite_endpoint( 'products', EP_ALL );}
add_action( 'init', 'my_custom_endpoint' );
 
function my_custom_query_vars( $vars ) 
{$vars[] = 'products';return $vars;}
add_filter( 'query_vars', 'my_custom_query_vars', 0 );

  function my_custom_flush_rewrite_rules() 
{ flush_rewrite_rules();}
add_action( 'init', 'my_custom_flush_rewrite_rules' );

In the code above, we have created a new endpoint called products. This endpoint can be accessed at yoursite.com/wc-api/products.

We have also added a new query variable called products. This variable can be used to retrieve data from the products endpoint. For example, the following URL will return data for all products in JSON format:

yoursite.com/wc-api/products?products=all&format=json

You can also access specific product data by ID. For example, the following URL will return data for product ID 1234 in JSON format:

yoursite.com/wc-api/products?products=1234&format=json
