Wordpress plugin to connect to a REST API? [closed]

Answer 1

If I understand your post correctly, perhaps this would do the trick.

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/json-api/

It has 3 controllers:

Post: create_post

Core: info get_recent_posts get_post get_page get_date_posts get_category_posts get_tag_posts get_author_posts get_search_results get_date_index get_category_index get_tag_index get_author_index get_page_index get_nonce

Respond: submit_comment

Answer 2

So WordPress has some built-in support for AJAX queries, both from the admin panel and in the user-facing pages.

I don't fully understand how it all works yet as I am totally new to WordPress coding, but this seems to be what I want:

Thanks to moimikey for mentioning WP's ajax ability.

I am looking for similar functionality (I want my Wordpress page to render/update data retrieved from Spring REST CRUD repository) and I couldn't find anything.

I ended up writing my own generic shortcode plugin for Spring REST data repositories, which I will be happy to share once it's completed.

You can also write your own shortcode plugin based on the following tutorials / blog posts, it is fairly straight-forward:

• How to parse json response from CURL
