Safely disable WP REST API

Question

I am considering to improve security of my Wordpress website, and in doing so have come across WP REST API being enabled by default (since WP 4.4 if I\'m not mistaken).

Answer 1

With the plugin "Disable REST API" you can select which APIs you want to enable, e.g. the contact form 7 API. See the plugin's settings (yoursite.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=disable_rest_api_settings)
