Title: REST API Console Author: Ryan McCue Published: July 15, 2015 Last modified: November 30, 2016 --- Search plugins This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/rest-api-console.svg) # REST API Console By [Ryan McCue](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rmccue/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/rest-api-console.2.1.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-console/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-console/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-console/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-console/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/rest-api-console/) ## Description The REST API Console is an interactive way to explore the [WordPress REST API](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/) through your normal WordPress admin. Great for learning about the API, tinkering with data on your site, or finding out what your site is exposing. (Also pairs well with a fruity red.) You’ll need to have the [WordPress REST API](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/) plugin (v2 or later) installed to use this. You can only access your local site through this plugin. Don’t have a WordPress site handy? Want to try-before-you-buy? Check out [demo.wp-api.org](http://demo.wp-api.org/) for a publicly visible version! ## Installation Upload to your site, activate, then head on over to your new Tools > REST API Console page. Congratulations! ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/b87644f25200be1605031513a75b9cd31cba292159b9942c7d5bec55b37b8f9c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good start](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-start-58/)󠁿 [Jules Colle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jules-colle/) March 22, 2020 Good start, but this could be a million percent more useful if you simply added the ability to edit the query instead of just appending something. For example: a query like this will never work: /wp/v2/pages/(?P[\d]+) I agree it’s nice to have it as a reference, and it should defenitly stay, BUT when you click on it, you should have an options to edit the query to turn it into /wp/v2/pages/123. I know I could get kind of the same result (except it will be wrapped inside an array) with /wp/v2/pages/?include=123, but meh.. Anyway, I’ll probably modify the plugin and create this myself, as it seems development has ceased.
