  Hello there, no WordPressdotcom site regardless of upgrade plan will give you access to the underlying PHP or Database. What is it you are trying to do with an API?

  I was looking to build a client for your APIs. I was wondering if the APIs across accounts differed in below ways:
  1. Functionality
  2. Performance
  3. Access Limits
  4. Additional APIs in Business Account?

  I think you’ll want to head over to https://developer.wordpress.com/ but I’ve also tagged this for Staff attention.

  Hi @pslcitest

  The plans (free, Personal, Premium, and Business) are specific to a particular site, while the REST API is not. So there are no differences in functionality, performance, or access limits there. More info at the link shared by @JenT.

  The Business account does not provide exclusive access to any additional APIs.

  I have couple more questions:
  1. Do WordPress enforce any API limit? (No of requests allowed)
  2. What is expiry of Serve Oauth2 Access Token?

  I would also like to know whether it is possible to expose a custom REST endpoint for the site?
