WooCommerce is a powerful ecommerce plugin for WordPress. It has a REST API that can be used to create, update, and delete products from your WooCommerce store. The WooCommerce REST API documentation is available here: https://docs.WooCommerce.com/document/rest-api/.
REST API stands for Representational State Transfer. It is an architectural style for building web services. The WooCommerce REST API allows you to interact with your WooCommerce store data using HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE).
You can use the WooCommerce REST API to programmatically create, update, and delete products in your store. This can be useful if you want to import products from another system into WooCommerce, or if you want to build a custom interface for managing products in your WooCommerce store.
While it is possible to use the WooCommerce REST API to build a WooCommerce-powered app, it is not recommended. The WooCommerce REST API is not as robust as the WordPress REST API, and it does not follow true REST conventions.
If you are looking to build a WooCommerce-powered app, we recommend using the WordPress REST API instead.
Getting Started with the WooCommerce REST API
To use the WooCommerce REST API, you will need to:
- Register for a free Developer Account on the WooCommerce website.
- Generate API keys. You will need two keys, a Consumer Key and a Consumer Secret. These keys are used to authenticate your requests to the WooCommerce REST API.
