WooCommerce API
The WooCommerce API is a RESTful web service that allows developers to interact programmatically with WooCommerce-powered online stores. It provides endpoints for managing products, orders, customers, and other e-commerce data, enabling integration with external applications, mobile apps, and custom workflows. Built on WordPress REST API standards, it supports authentication via API keys or OAuth for secure access.
Developers should learn the WooCommerce API when building integrations for e-commerce platforms, such as connecting stores to inventory management systems, CRM tools, or custom dashboards. It's essential for automating order processing, syncing product data across channels, or creating mobile apps that interact with WooCommerce stores, making it a key skill for e-commerce and WordPress development projects.
