REST API

Requirements

To use the latest version of the REST API you must be using:

• WooCommerce 3.5+.

• WordPress 4.4+.

• Pretty permalinks in Settings > Permalinks so that the custom endpoints are supported. Default permalinks will not work.

• You may access the API over either HTTP or HTTPS, but HTTPS is recommended where possible.

If you use ModSecurity and see 501 Method Not Implemented errors, see this issue for details.
