Title: Blockrush API Request Diagnostics Author: blockrush Published: August 17, 2026 Last modified: August 17, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/blockrush-api-request-diagnostics/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev =3651243) # Blockrush API Request Diagnostics By [blockrush](https://profiles.wordpress.org/blockrush/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/blockrush-api-request-diagnostics.1.4.8.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/blockrush-api-request-diagnostics/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/blockrush-api-request-diagnostics/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/blockrush-api-request-diagnostics/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/blockrush-api-request-diagnostics/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/blockrush-api-request-diagnostics/) ## Description Blockrush API Request Diagnostics gives administrators and WooCommerce store managers a fast, private view of outbound requests made through the WordPress HTTP API. #### Highlights * Groups calls by third-party destination. * Expands destination groups into their individual recent calls. * Tracks request volume, success rate, response time, transfer size, and source. * Filters all calls by success, error, time, HTTP status, destination, URL, and source. * Organizes calls chronologically with last-5-minute, last-hour, today, this-week, date-range, and exact custom periods. * Opens a detailed request/response inspector. * Produces a copyable, credential-safe cURL command for support and diagnostics. * Fully suppresses recognized credentials before storage so Free never retains usable secrets. * Adjustable local log retention and body-size limits, with conservative defaults of one day and 64 KB. * Responsive, keyboard-accessible UI with no external JavaScript dependencies. ### Capture scope Blockrush API Request Diagnostics observes requests made through WordPress HTTP API functions such as wp_remote_get() and `wp_remote_post()`. This includes WordPress core and most well-behaved plugins, including WooCommerce extensions. Calls made directly through raw cURL, sockets, or third-party SDK transports that bypass the WordPress HTTP API cannot be observed from a WordPress plugin without unsafe system-level interception. ### Privacy and security Recognized API keys, tokens, passwords, authorization headers, client secrets, consumer credentials, signatures, and URL credentials are fully suppressed before a log is inserted. Blockrush API Request Diagnostics does not retain an unmasked copy. Request bodies are captured by default with a 64 KB maximum. Authorized users can adjust that limit in Settings. Response bodies are disabled by default. Headers, status, duration, and byte size remain available when response bodies are disabled. Only administrators and WooCommerce users with `manage_woocommerce` can access the dashboard, settings, and call details. All actions use WordPress nonces. Filtered CSV and JSON exports are available through API Analyzer Pro. Blockrush API Request Diagnostics stores logs only in the site’s own WordPress database. The plugin does not send logs, telemetry, or personal information to Blockrush or any other external service. Because request bodies can contain customer or visitor information chosen by other plugins, site owners should review their privacy obligations and retention settings before enabling capture on a production site. Blockrush API Request Diagnostics provides suggested text in WordPress’s Privacy Policy Guide. ### External services Blockrush API Request Diagnostics does not contact an external service on its own. It does not send data to Blockrush, load remote assets, collect telemetry, or operate a hosted component. The plugin observes outbound WordPress HTTP API calls initiated by WordPress core, themes, and other plugins. The destinations and information sent in those calls are controlled by the software that initiated them, not by Blockrush API Request Diagnostics. Site owners should review the terms and privacy policies of those services separately. ## Screenshots [⌊Overview analytics with request volume, traffic health, and recent calls grouped by destination.⌉⌊Overview analytics with request volume, traffic health, and recent calls grouped by destination.⌉[ Overview analytics with request volume, traffic health, and recent calls grouped by destination.

Upload the `blockrush-api-request-diagnostics` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install its ZIP. 2. Activate Blockrush API Request Diagnostics in WordPress. 3. Open **API Analyzer** in the WordPress admin menu. 4. Generate normal store traffic, or use an integration’s test-connection action. ## FAQ ### Can the copied cURL command be run as-is? No. Credentials are deliberately suppressed. Replace suppressed values with valid secrets in a secure local environment before replaying the request. ### Does pausing capture affect existing logs? No. It stops new capture only. Existing logs remain until their retention period expires, an authorized user clears them, or the plugin is deleted. ### What happens on uninstall? Deleting the plugin through WordPress removes its custom table, settings, and scheduled cleanup event. Deactivation alone retains data. ### Does Blockrush API Request Diagnostics contact Blockrush? No. Blockrush API Request Diagnostics has no hosted service, telemetry, tracking pixel, remote assets, or update service outside WordPress.org. It observes calls initiated by WordPress and other installed plugins and stores the resulting diagnostic logs locally. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Blockrush API Request Diagnostics” is open source software.
