WooCommerce REST API

This repository is home to the WooCommerce REST API package.

The stable version of this package is bundled with WooCommerce core releases, but it can also be used as a standalone plugin so bleeding-edge API features can be tested or used by other feature plugins.

Using this package

This package is hosted on Packagist and can be included using composer.json:

"require": {
    "woocommerce/woocommerce-rest-api": "1.0.0"
},

Since multiple versions of this package may be included at the same time, WooCommerce handles loading only the latest version by using a special loader.

After including the package and installing dependencies, include the main woocommerce-rest-api.php file in your code:

include 'vendor/woocommerce-rest-api/woocommerce-rest-api.php';

This will register the version of the package with WooCommerce and make it available after the woocommerce_loaded hook is fired.

API documentation

Within this package, namespaces and endpoint classes are located within the src/RestAPI/ directory. If you need to change the behavior of an endpoint, you can do so in these classes.

Run tests using phpunit in the root of the package. All pull-requests must pass unit tests in order to be accepted.

Translation

For strings located in API endpoints, use woocommerce as your text-domain. These endpoints will be translated in the WooCommerce Core PO/MO files.
