What Is Restrict Content Pro REST API?
Restrict Content Pro REST API is developed by Restrict Content Pro and is a membership plugin for WordPress. Built on the core WordPress REST API infrastructure, it extends the capabilities of the base membership system to allow for remote data management. It belongs to the membership category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for content restriction and site monetization.
This extension solves the problem of siloed membership data by allowing developers to access member information from outside the WordPress admin dashboard. It is primarily for developers building custom mobile applications, external dashboards, or cross-platform integrations.
Restrict Content Pro REST API Features
The core feature set is built around providing full CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) capabilities for essential membership and financial data points.
Member Account Management
The API allows developers to query member account records to retrieve specific user details or lists of active subscribers. You can programmatically create new member account records when a user registers through an external interface. Furthermore, the Restrict Content Pro API supports updating existing records and deleting accounts when necessary, ensuring your external data stays in sync with your membership site database.
Payment and Financial Operations
Managing financial transactions remotely is possible through the payment record endpoints. Developers can query payment records to verify transaction history or create new records for payments processed through external gateways. The interface also handles updates and deletions of payment data to maintain accurate financial reporting outside the standard WordPress backend.
Statistics and Earnings Tracking
For those building custom reporting dashboards, the plugin provides access to critical business metrics. You can query recent earnings to see revenue trends directly from the API. It also provides signup statistics, allowing for real-time monitoring of growth and conversion rates in external analytics tools or custom mobile apps.
