== Description ==

### Connect to external REST API's

[View Live Demo](https://wpgetapi.com/demo-connecting-wordpress-to-external-api/?utm_campaign=Demo&utm_medium=wporg&utm_source=readme)

WPGetAPI lets you easily get (or send) data from external REST API's using GET or POST requests and then display the returned data on your WordPress website.

This plugin is the easiest way to connect WordPress with external API's.

You can get data from REST API's in JSON format and return the data either in JSON string format or as a PHP array through the use of a shortcode or a template tag function. We strongly recommend the use of the template function to output the data as it is way more flexible.

 * Connect to API's without writing a single line of code
 * Connect to unlimted API's
 * Connect to unlimited endpoints
 * Connect via GET requests or POST requests
 * Output the API data using a template tag (most flexible)
 * Output the API data using a shortcode
 * Set query parameters
 * Set header parameters
 * Set body parameters
