WordPress
WordPress is an open-source content management system (CMS) that powers a significant portion of websites on the internet. Its REST API enables applications to interact with WordPress sites by sending and receiving data as JSON, allowing developers to build decoupled frontends, mobile apps, and integrations in any language. The extensive plugin and theme ecosystem, block editor, and AI capabilities make it accessible for building everything from personal blogs to complex enterprise websites.
WordPress publishes 14 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Block Types API, Blocks API, Categories API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include CMS, Content Management, Open Source, and WordPress.
The WordPress catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.
WordPress’ developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, changelog, support, and 27 more developer resources.
